Message: <blockquote data-quote="Cellro" data-source="post: 2653913" data-attributes="member: 577342">Following some routine blood tests at the end of June I found out that my A1c was very high at 89. This was a surprise as I had no real symptoms other than losing a bit of weight which I’d put down to stress. I immediately started to follow the Michael Mosley plan and was re-tested two weeks later at 83. I was then sent for an abdominal ultrasound - all clear - and have continued with low carb ever since and lost a couple of stone and many inches. Throughout this I’ve just been left to get on with it and GP has shown no interest - and it’s impossible to get an appointment. Yesterday I had a follow-up 3 month blood test and I’m down to 68. Is this good progress in three months? It’s obviously still higher than I’d like but as I’ve had no opportunity to talk to a doctor I have no sense of whether I’m doing well or am likely to now be given medication. I still have no symptoms and feel better than I have in ages, but I’m very careful with my diet.</blockquote>
