I just wanted the say 'thank you' really to this forum. Diagnosed with Type 2 a few months ago, and reading through here has helped me tremendously. I have lost 20kgs, have a relatively normal blood sugar level now it seems and am going for the HBa1c test in two weeks to hopefully see if things have improved.

My Hb1AC started at 81 when diagnosed in February and the result today is 44. So good, but not “normal” still sadly.

That is great as the starting point for diabetes is Hba1c of 48 or more, and the top end of normal is 41 - which is so close.

Brilliant job.. I hope your HCP's were suitably impressed as it seems that very few can do as you have and take control.
Well done for taking control over your own health!

Thank you very much. I haven't seen any HCP's. I saw a doctor to get diagnosed a few months ago after the NHS check-up thing then ignored the medicine advice, looked on the internet and went back and asked for another blood test after I'd lost lots of weight and stopped eating 'bad' carbs. I went today and got the blood test results (myself from reception) and I'm assuming they will ask me to come in and discuss them at some stage but again internet is my friend
