Hi All
Would just like to share my news. I stopped taking medication (4x500mg metformin per day) after 3 months of treatment. I was sick of feeling like **** everyday!!! After reading about low carbs on this site, I decided to give it a go. That was 12 weeks ago and Im pleased to say that my hba1c this week was 6.5!!! Amazing. PReviously it was 7.1 on meds. I hardly feel like IVe changed my diet too much. Yeah, ofcourse there are changes, but its not as bad as I first feared!!! I live by the 80/20 rule, which seems to work for me.
Im not back at the gym yet, my 9month old keeps me fit enough!!!! The bread I eat (only at breakfast) is 50/50 crust away. I have also discovered Morrsions frozen chocolate eclaris, which are low in carbs too. Great with that afternoon cup of tea.
Thanks for all of your great hints and tips on this site!!
What is a "normal" hba1c range for non diabetics?
A very pleased with herself smita!!! :mrgreen:
