[QUOTE="Rachox, post: 2042023, member: 400972"] Hi Evie I was diagnosed with an HbA1c of 70. I was prescribed Metformin and went low carb, initially under 100 like you. I was successful in reducing my blood sugars but stalled at around six weeks, so then reduced my carbs to 50 - 70, this bought me down to an HbA1c of 45 2 months after diagnosis. I then reduced to 30 - 50g and after a further 2 months my HbA1c was non diabetic and has remained so ever since. By reducing slowly I avoid carb flu. I stay on between 30 - 50g carbs/day. I enjoy a few raspberries and strawberries every day with cream or full fat Greek yoghurt. [/QUOTE]
