[QUOTE="Lupf, post: 2295508, member: 518059"] Hi [USER=528417]@mccraith[/USER] welcome, you need to find out yourself what works or not. An Hb1Ac of 55 not such a bad starting point, I was over 100.

What works for me is intermittent fasting 5+2 and I managed to lose that excess weight (over 10 kg) with it.
