Well done on the hba1c result! Very happy for you @kimbo1962! Yes I've been seeing better numbers for you recently xx you must be very pleased. Hopefully it'll be okay without the meds. Forward and downwardI wasn't too sure at first @Adelle0607 - but now seeing it as a positive! My last hba1c end of October was down to 38 and gp suggested in December trying without, I realised the other day it means I've really done well in just over 6 months since I started this journey!
Congratulations, hope you can keep it up,Welcome to the group. I also used to think it was primarily sugar that was the problem. After hanging around here with these fine folks, I learned that the big evil is highly refined and processed foods (cheaply produced simple carbohydrates).
I was diagnosed in May of 2014, and had an A1C of 8.4, was put on metformin, found this site in June and educated myself in the ways of LCHF with the help of everyone here. Stopped my meds (on my own) in September. My last Dr. Appointment was in late November, got 'the talk' about dropping my meds (she was not happy ). Then she looked at my A1C results and it was 5.2.... To which she said I can stay off my meds.
BIG thank you to everyone on here for the great advice and support!!!
I'm feeling great, loosing weight and very happy!!
