[QUOTE="peterp, post: 28502, member: 9633"] [b]Re: Success stories[/b] Hi all, I was diagnosed as type 2 last May (after some pre-op tests for an unrelated condition) with an HbA1c of 7.8%, high blood pressure (can't remember what it was but the lower number was over 100), cholesterol 'elevated', fasting BG of 13ish and overweight at 19st something. I am 51 years old and 6ft tall. Done the low-carb thingy after reading Bernstein's book and this and other forums. Started testing BG 5 times a day and got them down to the 5-6 range in a short space of time. Got some tests back last week; HbA1c of 5.6%, blood pressure 128/78, cholesterol 'normal', weight 14st 4. Have never felt better in my life. Now I only test my BG first thing in the morning and am upset if its over 5. DN and GP are very supportive of the low-carb approach as they have "seen the results in other patients". Low-carb has been very successful for me only drawback is I now have a wardrobe full of clothes that no longer fit. Cheers Pete [/QUOTE]
