My GP did not prescribe medication when I had three HbA1c tests over 48 by late last year: we had been watching the numbers creep up from 42 a few years back; he decided I must shift some weight and regulate my diet. Despite huge challenges of both elderly parents being ill in separate hospitals these past 4+ months, my last blood test in July was 49 (from 50 in April). Also had 1st diabetic eye test just a month ago and there was some very minute retinopathy. No treatment required.Had also lost 3 kilos over 3 months despite lapsing into snacking under stress. There is the famous LCHF “diet” by Dr Mosley and Prof Taylor that has been good for me, and easy to follow. Don’t know if I am allowed to mention it here, but I find the principles very helpful. My GP is somewhat chilly about the author, but recognises my weight loss as positive. He wants me to lose another ten kilos, and I am up for it. The alternative is too awful to contemplate.Thanks for sharing. This newbie is encouraged.</blockquote>
