Message: <blockquote data-quote="Moogie1947" data-source="post: 106019" data-attributes="member: 19105">I had a routine urine test more than 10 years ago and was told I had higher sugar levels than normal, then had annual fasting blood sugar test which were always just under the diabetic range. Then, about a year ago my fasting blood sugars and HBA1c went over the line and I got quite a shock.Since then I have been on a low carb diet and just today my HBA1c was 5.2 and I was told that I was in the normal range. The diabetic nurse is not convinced by the diet but I lost over 2 stone on it, so it works for weight loss and keeping carbs under control. My blood pressure has come down too.I just wish I had known about the diet before - as a vegetarian I had  kept to a low fat low sugar diet with wholemeal everything for the last 10 years after the initial diagnosis and still it crept up on me.I also had various joint and infection problems in the past few years which i did not associate with the high sugar levels until I started to take it seriously and join communities like this one and review what was available online.L</blockquote>
