Message: <blockquote data-quote="NewbieHelp" data-source="post: 2758406" data-attributes="member: 596449">Some interesting reading here … thanks for all the replies When I was first diagnosed, it was with a Hba1c of around 50 around 7 years ago… went on a healthy eating plan … walking every day usually in evening … wasn’t particularly low carb as in still eating brown bread, potato's, pasta etc along with one sweet treat a day …. On that regime I managed to keep my Hba1c down in the 30’s … used to walk a significant amount … upwards on 5k a day …. Lost approx 5 stoneFast forward to now, after a major operation, had to avoid healthy fibre rich food, an ongoing foot pain no after a fracture , weight creeping back up and by ignoring my steadily rising Hba1c I hit 75 in October, 67 in October and 59 in march.Since starting to test in February I’ve discovered I can’t tolerate all those carbs I used to eat so have gone low carb … haven’t had bread, pasta or potato or sweet stuff months …. Yes I know there are carbs in other stuff but really hoping for a Hba1c of below 50 next month …. I guess my body can’t handle all those carbs after a few years of me falling off the wagon, as they sayI am walking most days … maybe 30 mins in morning and 30 mins after dinner but find my  figures are better on the days I’ve walked in the evening…. Ive lost nearly 2 stone since January so am definitely going to continue walking as much as I can as I really missed it …. As much for my mental health and my physical healthThanks again</blockquote>
