[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 2169115, member: 41816"] That is a great result! Congratulations. Am actually deeply envious :D because it has taken me a lot longer and a lot more dietary control to get to mid 30s HbA1c. So you should be [B][I]very [/I][/B]chuffed and very grateful that the dice have fallen how they have. :D But (you knew there was going to be a but, didn't you? ;) I would say that your next biggest hurdle is likely to be complacency. I mean, after all, if you knocked your HbA1c into submission with those efforts in such a short time, then it makes sense to ease off a bit, doesn't it? Include a few more carbs, skip the odd walk... I often think that being in your situation is a double edged sword. A situation where it looks fairly easy, so it is easy to take your eye off the ball... and then ooops, a year later, no exercise, no testing, and all the old habits back in place. So stick with it. :D marathon, not sprint. and find fun, enjoyable ways to sustain your lifestyle changes so that you are walking forwards with anticipation. And despite my jealousy ;) I am truly delighted for you. :D [/QUOTE]
