[QUOTE="Eurobuff, post: 2557452, member: 113391"] That’s similar to my story. In 2014 went for a healthy heart check, Al round check for over 40’s. My hba1c came back with a diabetic reading. I was in shock as I’d had no symptoms. I had a 2nd test which confirmed it. I was told I would have to go on medication, but would give me 3 months to see what I could do. Found this forum and started to follow a low carb diet. I downloaded an app to calculate how my carbs I was eating. I still use one to this day. I use an app called daily carb. You can also log your bg readings, weight, cholesterol etc. I would recommend you getting one of these. After 3 months I had another hba1c and although it had reduced it was still a diabetic reading but the nurse was impressed and said she would give me another 3 months. My hba1c s are 40 / 41. I eat 50 carbs per day. I was eating 200 grams of carbs per day previously. Bread & potatoes were my downfall. At diagnosis I weighed 8 1/2 stone, height 5 ft 2inches I would recommend you gradually reduce your carb intake, I didn’t and went into “carb flu”, shaking and sweating. And keep a record of what you’re eating with an app. Then you can see your progress [/QUOTE]
