[QUOTE="LINMARIE, post: 2477629, member: 551852"] Hi Wendy this is exactly the news I needed to hear!!. Well done so happy for you. I have a reading of 51 (was yours the A1C reading of 107)? I was told December 21 I had diabetes but decided not to take the Metorformin (lowest dose) and I am into 2 weeks of a radical change of diet and yesterday I have lost 10 pounds already. I had previously had a reading of A1C 52 last May and embarked on completely the wrong diet a WW one which had been successful many years ago in me losing over 2 stone over a year but it was a pointingsysem and allowed treats but completely the wrong diet for anybody diabetic so I basically wasted 8 months but I did lose a bit of weight and come down a point. The nurse said yes don't take the Metorformin as she could see that I am determined and anyway it has been a massive shock and life changing few weeks for me and this gives me such hope as the first week of being told I was in complete shock and didn't have a clue what to do or even what to eat so after 3 days of solid research and many tears I realised big time that what I was doing was eating low fat but not taking note of the amount of carbs and treats but my mantra is onwards and upwards (well downwards on blood readings) ha ha. Any tips you might be able to give? did you find it hard say 3 months into your eating programme and was it anything in particular that you found what you ate had a good result on your finger prick tests? I am so new to this and want to absorb as much positive information as I can - thanks Well done again [/QUOTE]
