I received my diagnosis of T2 on 21 November 2013, after about a month of waiting for blood test results. The first HbA1c test read 115 and the follow up to double check read 112. The doctor apologised for the long wait and gave me the diagnosis over the phone. I was put on 3 x 500mg metformin per day.
In February my HbA1c was down to 52. The nurse agreed to reduce my med to 2 x 500 in March, by which time a was seriously into LCHF.
Today I got the result for my latest test ... 35!!!!! 35!!!!!! 35!!!!!!
A lot of exercise in the form of daily brisk walks. I've lost 5st 9lb since the beginning of September, 1 stone of which was before diagnosis and unintentional.
I still have 3 stone to lose to get to target BMI. I'm going to up my exercise and I think I would like to try without the meds.
I great be thank you and a sloppy kiss to everyone here. I could not have done it without all the advice I've read here. And of course this is the beginning, not the end.
Thank you so so so so much!!!!
