[QUOTE="Prem51, post: 1880528, member: 209498"] Despite having found this excellent forum within a few days of being diagnosed I didn't get a meter to eat to. or go strict lchf. Though I am [I]lower [/I]carb and [I]higher[/I] fat than before. I avoid sugar as much as possible, and I eat less now. On diagnosis I was so terrified of the possible complications and perhaps having to eventually inject (I have a serious injection phobia) that I immediately went onto a quite spartan fast. I only ate one small meal a day, after 7pm, which was something like a wholemeal bread tinned salmon or hard boiled egg with mayo sandwich, a bowl of soup, or a couple of hard boiled eggs or onion bhajis. I would have a mug of coffee with double cream and sweetener for breakfast, and sometimes a mug of tea with a couple of low carb peanut butter cookies or Rich Tea biscuits mid afternoon. I only had one glass of wine in the first 3 months - though increased again over Xmas period and after. I drank a lot of water, probably 4-5 litres a day to fill me up. I walked a lot, probably 20-30,000 steps most days. As you can see from my signature below I lost about 3 stone in 4 months, and my HbA1c went down from 48 to 44 at my 3 month retest, and then to 39 at my next 12 month test. I got a meter after the 12 month retest as I realised I wouldn't know how I was doing until my next 12 month retest. I have relaxed a bit since then and my weight crept up again, and my HbA1c increased to 42 at the next test, but still less than the 47s I got in the two years before diagnosis. Now I eat most of the same things I ate before diagnosis, but in smaller quantities. I will be having my next HbA1c around the end of this month. My weight is now about 155 lbs, and I expect to still be in remission, between 42-47. I will be delighted if I am below 42, and disappointed if I am over 47, but what will be will be. [/QUOTE]
