Last year my HbA1c was 109, my blood sugar readings were in the high teens and spiking into the 20's. My diabetes was raging out of control and my head was firmly buried in the sand.
Today things are different. In the last 18 weeks I've lost 40 kilos in weight. My fasting BS reading first thing this morning was 4.5, just before dinner tonight it was 4.2 and exactly two hours after starting my (low carb) meal it was back down at 4.0. My glucose meter shows my 90 day average as 4.6.
I feel great.
I'm embarrassed to say that I still have more weight to lose but I'm not intimidated by that challenge now, I'm right on top of this thing. Next HbA1c due in a couple of weeks, bring it on!
Sincere thanks to all those on the forum who've shared their stories, experiences, knowledge and encouragement, it's been a huge help and inspiration. Good luck to everyone else currently fighting their own battle.
