[QUOTE="Rachox, post: 1775983, member: 400972"] :singing: Happy Diaday to me! :singing: :singing: Happy Diaday to me! :singing: :singing: Happy Diaday dear Rachoooooooox! :singing: :singing: Happy Diaday to me! :singing: 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! :happy: [/QUOTE]
