Wow - 30 is amazing. How many carbs a day do you stick to now?
Wow - 30 is amazing. How many carbs a day do you stick to now?My last A1c was 30. I consider myself still T2 because I know that if I went back to eating lots of carbs my BG would go haywire again. My GP is clueless and the DN a horrible creature. I didn't rely on them in any way, shape or form. Thank God for the internet!
8.5 stones in 10 months - AMAZING! People like you really inspire me to keep going.I don't count any more. I did ND with food for 8 weeks, then low carb. Rarely manage the 20g keto level. Usually under 50 though. Often I just eat in a two hour window, so it's a long fasted period. I was diagnosed 13 months ago with fasting BG of 12.4. I had a fasting BG in 2014 of 7.8 that was never picked up, so I think I'd had T2 for longer. My eyesight had gone very blurry and I was so dehydrated when I woke up, my eyelids would stick to my eyeballs! Anyway. I lost 8.5 stones in 10 months. A1c after the ND was 42 I think - hard to remember!

We all not the same,people can or can not reversed.
These days I am fairly sure that it was never my lifestyle, it was always the pressure to eat what is considered a healthy diet and the foods conveniently available from the supermarkets.
I have not changed anything very much, except gone back to the low carb diet I have been talked out of so many times - I am now eating much the same as when I was in my 40s, and I feel the same as I did when I was in my 40s, and I am acting as though I am in my 40s. I have lost weight and gained energy - but that was after I sorted out my blood glucose, not before.
Lol, I'm 5'11 and I was rather huge. I think I was 8.5 stones when I was at primary school!
Well, I can get onto jeans for 11-12 year olds, so that's about right. I'm just a skinny little person (160cm).
This has proved a problem for me. Not a big thing but as clothes for skinny people are mostly designed for the young and because I'm chasing 60 I am finding it difficult to find clothes that would fit me but not make me look like mutton dressed as lamb.
Lots of shops do down to size 6. Some very "young" shops go to 2 or 4. I am a size 6 in jeans and don't have too many issues finding clothes. Even M&S do 6s these days.
IF ?The Virta Health is very impressive. There's a great team running it Stephen phinney, Jeff Volek and Sarah Hallberg just to name a few. I watched a video that Dr Sarah Hallberg did not long ago and if you can get over her strange voice and are able to listen to her then she knows her stuff particularly on cholesterol. I am so glad that more people are getting in to LCHF it's changing lives and if you can throw in some IF too you can even get better results.
IF = Intermittent Fasting.IF ?
I do hope that you took the opportunity to direct the endocrinologist and the diabetic team to our little part of the world here on this forum and to the Diet Doctor's website... they could then see for themselves that it is not so rare and unusual after all!The endocrinologist also said I was an unusual and a very rare case.
The diabetic team have not seen anything like it in their 8 years of medical practice and experience.
