I was diagnosed in March with an Hba1c of 55 (7.2%) and the doctor wanted to put me on Metformin, I refused and said I wanted to try diet and exercise. Fast forward 3 months and my Hba1c is now 35 (5.4%) and my fasting glucose is around 4.8, cholesterol was 4.3. They haven't mentioned anything about being in remission but I don't have to go back for 6 months and no mention of Metformin either. I lost just over 3 stones (20kg) in those 3 months on a very low calorie low carb diet. The battle now is to keep it off. Whist I realise I started from a lower level than many, I just want folk to know that it is possible to improve this condition for many with some changes. I'm 55 so never to late to start. Good luck to everyone.</p></blockquote><p></p>
