Hi
With tears in my eyes I write this, I got my hba1c done yesterday alone with the lipid profile for cholesterol etc, I havent yet seen the results in black and white but my wife rang me, she has a print out from the doc with my results, well I have worked very hard at this since february and feel like i have saved my life (assuming i dont die whilst writing this post) my new numbers are
Hba1c 36 :shock:
Triglicerides 0.7 :shock:
hdl ratio 2.8 :shock:
in feb my hba1c was 106
triglicerides 2.9 (i think)
hdl 6.3
my bp was 250/150
now its 106/65 (avg)
im fitter beyond words
im so happy i could fly
I had already lost 2 stone mysteriously before dx and since then lost another 4 stone and now maintained it for months
I have been low carbing, completely ignoring calories and eating lots and lots of FAT, I have pretty much ignored every word the doctors and nurses have told me and learned everything I know from the good people on the site and random internet searching but mostly here, there have been a few particular people that have helped me, my good friend WhitbyJet to name the first with amazing advice and even more amazing recipes and far too many to name individually, but you know who you are giving me daily advice and encouragement along the way, I really do mean it when I say I couldnt have come to where I am now without you all, you are simply amazing
i found my first post from february.....
Hello, I'm sorry I haven't read many posts and I apologise if this has been asked before, I was drinking like a fish and wife made me test my blood, my number was 24.9 so I rang the out of hours doctor who saw me and said I had something in my blood and I had to go to a&e I spend most of last night up there and they have said I have high blood pressure 250 over 150 and have now put me on metphormin and some blood pressure capsules, I have basically eaten nothing much today because the doc said I can't eat sugar at all, I can hardly even read anything on the net, it's all bad, the more I read the worse this seems, I'm 42 and never been I'll I'm my life..... I'm totally freaked out and life seems to have been turned upside down, I have 2 wonderful kids and could do with seeing them grow up, can this be a mistake? Can blood sugar just be a blip, could I go to the docs and he say it's all fine? Sigh I'm sorry I'm rambling, if this isn't a bad dream......is life liveable with this?
I post this because im was in a bad place and you all brought me out of it
I am sorry if this sounds like a speech it isnt meant to its meant to be a "Thankyou" and a "You can do it!" because you really can, I may be lucky and havent been through what lots have and are going through, but I know with eachothers help we can get through this, whatever it is
From the bottom of my heart Thankyou all!!!!!!!!!!!!
now lets see how well i can do......
