hi
i wanted to just say a very big thank you , the people on this forum you are amazing , you have been so informative and kind to me
when diagnosed i was very scared my surgery were a waste of space ,moved surgery the diabetic doctor was just as
useless as the other one they just wanted to give me medication and that was that, i felt like i had been thrown on the scrap heap with the prospect of complications.the diabetic nurses in both practices were anti low carb
i found one doctor who was kind and he is the only one i see , i found the X-pert program informative, but it is from this forum that i found the more in depth knowledge
i have type 2 diagnosed july 2016
i tried other diets with mixed results have been on this diet and low carbs for about 7 weeks whilst weight loss is slow.
my results have been good
2016 HbA1c 97 next 89 6 months ago 47 today 41 ( normal)
cholesterol now all normal
2016 fasting was 11 today 5.4( normal)
BP was 220/120 today after 24 hour monitor average 139/88
i am on meds for BP and diabetes
i will be seeing my GP on nove 14th
my job is very sedatery i have a lot of weight to shift but i have gone from a couch potato , to two 1.5 mile walk's a day with some longer walks thrown in
i wanted to give something back to the forum , it can be tough we all have up and down days and i have further to go with my targets but when you are newly diagnosed and hear all the horror story's , things can change
best wishes
