Thanks @bulkbiker that is true! And thank you for your help in answering my questions about fasting in the past - without you I wouldn't have discovered Dr Jason Fung's work - I am now reading The Diabetes Code - I love his no-nonsense, cut to the chase, approach!Wow well done indeed.. great results.. don't be downhearted you now have something to aim for next time!
Me too that's why he's my hero.Thanks @bulkbiker that is true! And thank you for your help in answering my questions about fasting in the past - without you I wouldn't have discovered Dr Jason Fung's work - I am now reading The Diabetes Code - I love his no-nonsense, cut to the chase, approach!
Congratulations Eggs11. A lovely inspitational outcome for you and us!Hi all,
I got my 3 month review HbA1c test results back today - from a high of 72 at diagnosis in January I've now dropped to 42 - so the lowest end of prediabetes. As I phoned for my results the receptionist said my nurse had written by the result "Much improved - well done!". My nurse is lovely and very up on the latest science - has no problem with me being low carb - I have my proper review with her next week.
The other good news is my cholesterol is the same at 5.6, HDL 1.2 and calculated LDL 3.9 - and apparently that has been passed my GP as fine - PHEW!
I want to thank everyone on this forum - I wouldn't have discovered many techniques for control without you all, from fasting to testing my blood sugars – you are all brilliant and so, so helpful. A particular shout out to @Bluetit1802 who was very patient with my numerous questions at the start of my diabetes journey.
My happiness is tinged with mild frustration that the 42 is a good bit higher than my predicted A1c of 35, based on lots of testing each day which I then put into MySugr for a calculated average. I know my iron levels are a little low, according to previous blood tests, and there's a chance this could have come into play, so I will discuss this at my review next week, armed with my data. Either that or I have been missing peaks somehow - but I do test a lot.
I will report back from my review on Wednesday - but in the meantime THANK YOU!
Thanks @DJC3 - overall I feel like you, I've still managed a good drop and bloods are now near normal so am happy with 42 - but I know from my fasting bg that there's more work to do - still got some fat/sugar to remove from my liver - so onwards and downwards!Brilliant work @eggs11
I too use the MySugr app to estimate HbA1c and was a bit disappointed when the lab test came back a bit higher. It still monitored the general trend downwards though so I’m trying not to get too hung up on each 0.1% as it changes.
Completely agree with you and @bulkbiker about JF. I’ve just finished the Diabetes Code: a riveting book.
