Message: <blockquote data-quote="jjraak" data-source="post: 2670093" data-attributes="member: 493719">Hi [USER=583143]@Ali58[/USER] & [USER=583075]@Sued24[/USER]It's pretty common from what I've read on here.My 2018 DX had me feeling same way (58 HBA1c)If it helps, my journey went like thisDX, horrified by what I read on T2D, I finally found this forum, thank god...(and by that, Dr Fungs Diabetic Code..5 stars)After all the info I had read, it was hard to believe just a change of diet could make such a difference.A determination to do 'something' had me gently dipping a toe in the waters of LCHF.Result matched what others had said.And as the FBG dropped, I slid a little more into LCHF until I was fully commited.Nov 2018 ...58 HBA1c...T2DJune 2019...40 HBA1c...non T2D.Still T2D, but at that point IF tested I'd have passed on blood test as non T2D I believe.I did worry about all the conflicting advice, so began taking a LOT more notice of what all the blood test markers meant.Got pointed to a 'lipids' calculator.(While LDL, HDL, trigs etc important, seems it's the related ratios that matter most )Back tracked mine to 2010, where I had issuesCalculator said I was in 'high danger' across all my lipids from 2010 until DX 2018...8 Years of eating the Eatwell diet, basically.Cue my calculator scores post DX on LCHF diet Nov 2018-Jan 2019...3 months of lchf.Scores came back as GOOD or OPTIMAL.So...I got a diet that helped me get back to normal numbers.A way to test and prove my health was improving.Cured/eased my asthma.( I Had suffered with asthma on a daily basis aged 11-18..then it resurfaced aged 36 until 2018.Advice was to avoid dairy.Yet a diet with more dairy in than I'd ever eaten, had my asthma not only easing, but become so unnoticeable in my daily life, i almost forgot I suffered from it )Oh, and a nice letter from surgery saying "jolly well done" on getting back to 40 HBA1c..(But sadly no one curious about how the heck, I managed it..ho hum..really took the wind out of my sails, that every T2D at the surgery got WAY better results than I did....<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite11" alt=":rolleyes:" title="Roll Eyes    :rolleyes:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":rolleyes:" />)A small note about my HF intake.I didn't eat buckets of lard, etc.I simply used butter, (tastes great btw )kept fat on meats (marbling in steaks just adds SO much flavour) and used double cream for a dessert treat or for cooking occasionally.That was pretty much the extent of it for me...plus no low-fat anything.I make no scientific claims or offer any guarantees.Just saying how my journey looked & turned out .Other people's mileage might vary.A big thumbs up for the forum & the lovely members willing to offer advice & help to strangers, from me.I hope you both stay & do similar after what I pray is your successful journeys.& best wishes to every newcomer from me, that each finds a way to make this WOE work for them & aids their journey back to a healthier & more normal/lower FBG.</blockquote>
