Diet only
Just had my annual checkup. Over the past year, A1C has dropped from 42 to 36 and I have (deliberately) lost several kilos.

This marks 6.5 years of Type 2 controlled through diet only. For four of those years my A1C has been in the 30s, for two of them, in the low 40s.

I hope this provides some encouragement to those who may just be starting on their journey after a T2 diagnosis.

I am pre diabetic, I am going on for the 14th year without medicine. My A1c and all FBG numbers are in non diabetic range!

Well done for your excellent work and results!

I'm only tested annually now.

Thanks everyone.

For some reason the NHS diabetes nurse now wants to test me every 6 months instead of annually, despite the numbers being unremarkable (and lower than a year ago). Actually I don't mind, it will help to keep me on my toes.

Take what you can get I'm lucky if I get an annual check .
 
I’m pre diabetic for a long time. I asked my doctor to check my A1c quarterly and he agreed. I really like that, this way I control my bg with diet and without medicine and helps me keeps on on toes also.
