I started by eating lower carb and started loosing weight and monitoring my blood sugar to see how it was reacting to what I had eaten. Over time this has developed into low carb basically no grain no sugar and no starch.August 2019 my Hba1c was 41 and my weight was 117 kilograms, in my visit to the nurse she noted that I hadn’t been on the diabetes education course but immediately said after reading my Hba1c score that I didn’t need to go on it and to carry on doing whatever I’m doing.January 2020 my Hba1c is 38 and my weight is 102 kilograms.
