Nailed it!!!

[Vidar]

So I've just had my first 3 monthly test results back and I've dropped from 52 all the way 34! Well into the normal none diabetic range. I've also lost just shy of 5 stone.

I've done this without being fanatical about what I eat, I've eaten some carbs weekly, kept drinking my Robinsons fruit creations and I've not tested my blood sugars once!

I'm not saying how I've gone about things is right for anyone else but it's worked well for me so far.

But I'll keep going, keep trying to lose weight and keep my blood sugar levels down.

Great job, @Vidar.
Love a success story, no matter how it was achieved.

Thanks guys I really appreciate the kind words, I'm genuinely surprised its come down so much considering how lax I've been with things.

I need to speak with my diabetic nurse about things but I'm hoping I can come off the Metformin and see how that effects me in 3 months.

Great HbA1c and weight reductions in just 3 months @Vidar, well done!
Keep on doing whatever you're doing!

Don't sell yourself short @Vidar the results speak for themselves, you have obviously been as strict as you needed to be.

 

[Rachox]

Very well done! Whatever you’re doing works for you, so keep it up!

Hi Vidal, congratulations on your results. How did you manage to lose 5st in 3 months. What changes did you make to your diet.

For full disclosure I was and still am very overweight despite being 6ft8 after working nights for years,having a very poor diet and then being injured and suffering long term mobility issues. I'm currently around 29 stone.

All I've done is cut as much carbs and sugar out of my diet as humanly possible. Pork scratchings as opposed to crisps, green tea as opposed to regular, 85% cocoa chocolate etc being careful to try and keep around 20g of carbs a day normally but not being that strict.

Once a week on average I treat myself with a takeaway or meal out with my fiancee. I think for me though the scales have been my best friend. I'm not able to exercise at the moment so don't need to worry about muscle mass but weighing myself weekly if I've gained or maintained my weight from the week previous I adjust for the following.
