[QUOTE="bumblebetty, post: 2078258, member: 509053"] I was diagnosed with pre diabetes in January (HBaC1 was 44).Apparently it has been creeping up for years but no one ever told me. I have a lot of weight to lose but took it as a wake up call and have lost over a stone since then, cut out basic white carbs ( bread pasta potatoes rice) been doing 16:8 fasting and learning to run with C25K for last few months. In general I feel much better and healthier, I’ve been taking blood glucose levels once or twice a day and they seem not too bad but I haven’t quite got a handle on timings and how to interpret. What I’m wondering is, is realistic to expect these changes to have made any difference to my HBaC1 or is 6 months too soon? I’m going to the dr tomorrow as I’ve been having a bit of disturbed vision at times and started having occasional migraines so hoping she can check my blood pressure and maybe give me something stronger for the pain. The weight loss has stalled a bit and I’m finding everything a bit hard. I feel if I could get another test, which I think the nurse said I could have after 6 months , and get any kind of lower result it would be really inspiring but bit worried about what I’m going to do if no change. Thanks for any advice. [/QUOTE]
