[QUOTE="ziggy_w, post: 2177010, member: 323454"] Hi [USER=517318]@JordySloan[/USER], Welcome to the forum and hugs for the diagnosis. How high were your blood sugar levels, do you know? Many of ask for a printout of lab results to keep track. (It's good to know were you're starting from.) I also second [USER=511004]@mouseee[/USER]'s and [USER=400972]@Rachox[/USER]'s recommendation to get a blood glucose meter. This way you will know what various foods do to your blood sugar levels. (The idea is to measure right before a meal and two hours after your first bite, the rise should be no more than 2 mmol.) Your doctor is correct, quickly losing about 15% of your weight can reverse diabetes for some. If interested, search for "Newcastle diet" on this forum. Personally, I have decided to go low carb (like [USER=493719]@jjraak[/USER] and [USER=511004]@mouseee[/USER]). I have started with very, very high levels (HbA1c of 100) down and got down to normal blood sugar levels within three months (and have stayed there for about four and a half years). Have a read around the forum, ask any questions you may have, loads of really knowledgeable, helpful and friendly members on here. [/QUOTE]
