The tablets hadn’t helped, they even had me on Victoza at the highest dose of over 5 years without success .  27th December 2024 I decided after my marriage broke up to join slimming world And my last HBA1c was. 46 and I am off the novorapid and down to 20 units Toujeo. My GP now wants another blood test in 3 months and he is hoping I will be able to stop all medication.  I still have 5 stone to lose but am turning it around using slimming world to help maintain motivation and a low carbohydrate diet.  I still have a treat but now it is a treat and not a norm.  So the answer is Yes it can be done. It isn’t easy but worth it.  I have now even started the couch to 5k and although I am really slow and have to repeat runs (mine are more very slow jogs) I am exercising 5 times a week.  Go for it and try, you won’t regret it</p></blockquote><p></p>
