Hello.
I first posted in this forum before a few days after my diagnosis.
http://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/index.php?threads/118265/
At that time, my HbA1C was 13.2% and had Diabetic Ketoacidosis. I took another HbA1c ten days ago and… It was 5.6%. I did put some conscious effort in learning my body’s reaction to food and diabetes. And it does look like I understood it well. Mysugr app calculated my A1c to be 5.8% with all the reading from my glucometer. I thought that was too good to believe. Turns out it actually is better than that.
I actually had no dietary restriction. I ate pretty much whatever I wanted. I just made sure that I carb counted it properly and took the right amount of insulin.

I was quite happy. I took a shot and rewarded myself with some ice cream.
 
Good news @harshasp - just shows if you out the effort in then you really do see the benefits, you must be feeling tons better too.
 
Well done. It was well worth the effort you must have put in.
