Hi,
Not been posting much on here, generally just quietly reading the information available in other people's posts and trying to relate it to my story.
Had latest hba1c results today.

Done without meds and by reducing carbs but not going radically low. Still having porridge for breakfast which seems to work for me, and the odd oatcake.
This post is To thank those who have helped either by responding to my lists or posting elsewhere and inspiring me.
 
Tremendous progress you've made in just 6 months; you've every right to be proud of yourself. Enjoy it.

I adopt the same approach as yourself - spend ages reading around the forum, and learning from those who have so much knowledge, that they share willingly; even the occasional 'spat' can be very enlightening! I, too, am grateful for their generosity.

Am jealous that you can still have porridge; that's a no-go for me sadly.
 
Well done @macdeut
Great progress, now you've worked out what works for you keep it up.
 
What a great result. You have done amazingly well in 6 months.
I love this forum, I find it a huge support and I've learned far more from here than I have from my GP
 
Hi and Welcome,
Well done for your HBA1C results their brilliant. Also for finding the confidence to post here yourself.

Great job... you got all this decrease just with correct nutrition and exercise. Very good indeed, congratulations I'm also pursuing this improvement.
 
what an inspirational thread to everyone that reads !!!!
I can't claim to be involved with your success at all but I am totally pleased for you.
your story is why we are all here................
well done @macdeut
 
I'm with you 100%. I blame this site for my success so far in reducing my weight, my BG and my HbA1c. Stopped taking Metformin. New test results next week. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Brilliant news! I'm hoping my 3rd hba1c next week is as good as yours - my first two were similar and all drug free.
 
@Jix200903 - Good Luck for your HBA1C next week. Look forward to you posting your result .
