Hey,

Just got the result back of my HBA1C from my first 3 monthly check up.

Diagnosed with a HBA1C in August at 87 and now at 33 :)

Very a happy as i have been working ****** hard supported by Metformin to what ever extent it helps. I would guess diet and exercise had had the biggest impact, i have lost 4 stone, increased my fitness and activity significantly and changed my diet significantly.

I cant say i have been on the popular keto diet, i have if anything been working with something thats probably closer to NHS guidance, all be it with less carbs (<200g) but still with plenty of beans, lentils, whole grains, root veg. But no bread, rice, pasta, potatoes

Either way, what ever i have been doing is working, but the first nail is in the board. Not going to change what im doing, i have weight goals and i'm not going to push to drop the meds until i get another could of good results to be sure.

Steak for tea tonight i think :)

Well done Sno0opy, you've found the right combination for you, congratulations. four stone lighter in just a few months is amazing. I try to keep below 160 g carbs and that keeps the weight disappearing, some days better than others. I hope you enjoy your steak :smug:
 
Thank you for the kind responses :)

I had a Steak and chicken combo for tea, something that i would have previous demolished with a starter and desert. Then probably had a sarnie before bed as i was still peckish!

It was really good and i enjoyed it - i even had some sweet potato fries!

But i couldn't finish it - was so full! Ended up bringing chicken home and having it in a salad for lunch haha! O how things have changed!
