Hi there. I have just had a reading of HbA1c:50 mmol/mol which puts me in the Diabetes category and is completely terrifying despite having cut back on sugar and most carbs over the last 3 weeks. The worst of it is, I am so confused about all the diet information. Low Carb, Keto, Plant-based and low-calorie diets all seem to have the same effect in reducing weight and reversing diabetes and I just don't know which route to go down. I would really appreciate hearing people's experiences. In the past I have had a fatty liver which makes me frightened of high-fat diets but perhaps some of you have been in the same boat and kept your liver healthy while doing one. It would be great to know. My doctor is trying to put me on Metformin but if I can reverse this relatively quickly with diet I would be much happier.
