OMG Hb1c Result

Had my latest test results today. HbA 1c is 5. When i was diagnosed in February this year it was 9.8 Fasting blood glucose was also in the non diabetes range. I was completely amazed as i didn't think it would be this good. So GP happy and i shall not be taking any medication.

I've been on a low carb diet since March. Originally i went down to less than 50g of carbs a day. Now i tend to be between 30 and 70g a day. I don't eat bread, potatoes rice or pasta and i limit my sugar intake. It was tough initially but it feels very normal now. My blood results have made it all worth while.

I realise it's only been 2 months and i still have the rest of my life to live. But so far so good.

I am having slow cooked shin of beef, veg and a few red wines for dinner to celebrate.

Thanks for the support. I get mad on a daily basis on here listening to people who get bad advice. Best advice i took from a book was "diabetes is an intolerance to carbohydrates". Once you work out how much your body can cope with its easy going. And the idea that we need to eat a balance of carbs protein and fat is scientifically nonsense. We can live without carbs!

Shin of beef was marvellous. Marinated it in red wine for 2 days. Went well with grated cauliflower.
