[QUOTE="Bluenosesol, post: 92958, member: 20149"] [b]Re: Success stories[/b] Guys, just returned from my first 3 month diabetic review.... I was diagnosed 27th April and my initial newbie review was 14th May. Then my stats were :- HBA1C 10.3 Weight 17stone 5 pounds Trigs 7.7 (Not a typo, they WERE 7.7) BP 131/80 Medication 2 x 500 Metformin and told to expect to be on insulin at next review with an incredibly gloomy prognosis. Following 3 months of lo-carb as advised on the forum.....my latest stats are :- HBA1C 5.8 Weight 13 stone 12 pounds Trigs 1 (YES 1!) BP 123/71 Medication REDUCED to 1 x 500 Metformin My nurse called in a colleague and told her that my results were due to "taking my diabetes on". She said that the results were incredible!! So Naturally I am ecstatic.... Only down sides........(minor to the Up sides :) ) My cholesterol INCREASED from 4.4 to 4.8, nurse refused me test strips stating NHS only require testing on insulin, I showed her my diet sheets and she didnt appear to concede that the results were majorly due to the lo-carb diet. :? . Onward and Upwards (or should that be downwards? :D ) Steve [/QUOTE]
