So when are we going for an -
"Eat All You Can... 'Till We Both Drop Dead (gorgeous) Chinese Buffet" ??????
hahahahaha !!!!!!!!!!!!
My goodness, congratulations Rachox! You’ve been so knowledgeable and inspiring that I thought you must have been here for years! Guru! But in fact your journey sounds almost parallel to mine. I’m seeing the GP next week for an annual checkup after a year in which I’ve tried and roughly managed to do what you have done and reverse my blood glucose values. I hadn’t even been diagnosed as prediabetic. My glucose and cholesterol were ‘slightly up’ and I had about 20 complaints SO as the combo was not good, GP’s answer was to suggest statins! No thankyou very much, no more statins, I’ll do it through nutrition. Oh well if you insist was the reply. I went lowcarb and started monitoring the sugar - and soon saw I wasn’t just slightly high (6.6 fasting) but likely prediabetic! I recall moments like a 16 following a holiday cappuccino & jam croissant.!! An annual fasting value is not enough! Mostly pricking to check, but twice used the Freestyle Libre which I loved. A life saver, but soooo expensive. It was a luxury birthday present for me. But Surely giving risk patients this for two weeks would help prevent diabetes 2 and thus SAVE money for the health system. I ‘only’ lost 13 kg to date (there have been some tough standstill times when exercise was unavoidably lower) but I felt I’d ditched it. I soon realised I was on the right track but that the sugar monster will always be lurking... thank you for sharing! Congratulations and enjoy your trail! If I may I’ll join you all for the crispy duck and veggies at the Eat all you can drop dead gorgeous Chinese Buffet. Katie in Holland

Happy Diaday dear Rachoooooooox!
Happy Diaday to me!
Yes one whole year today since my Type 2 diagnosis and what a year!
I’ve gone from an HbA1c of 70 to consistently in the 30s (MySugr says estimate of 31.9 today)
I’ve gone from weighing 115kg (BMI 44.3) to 79kg (BMI 30.4)
I’ve gone from a BP of 140/88 to 125/77 and that’s on less BP meds.
I’ve dropped 3 dress sizes.
I’ve taken in my watch strap twice!
I’ve gone from sleeping for England to waking each day refreshed after 7 hours sleep.
I’ve gone from couch potato to someone who walks at least 20 mins each day.
I’ve gone from lazy cook to experimental cook.
I’ve gone from “Shell Shocked” (the title of my first post here) to well informed and educated on all things Type 2!
I’ve followed a low carb way of eating from the night of my diagnosis, with Metformin and self monitoring to achieve all of this, and it’s absolutely thanks to the wisdom, support and friendliness of the folks on this fantastic forum, for which I’ll be eternally grateful - plus a pinch of effort and will power from me!
My diabetes diagnosis really has been a blessing in disguise, as a result of it I am so much fitter than I was this time last year!

Congratulations! I 've been trying LCHF but failing repeatedly. I need determination. I found this website today and I hope it will help. I envy your great success. I hope someday I could make it too.
