Message: <blockquote data-quote="librarising" data-source="post: 320137" data-attributes="member: 41957">I'm not clear what you're after. On diagnosis I was told to go away and try diet and exercise. No metformin, no nothing, other than a 3-month challenge.I soon found books by Dr Briffa, Gary Taubes, Barry Groves, Dr Kendrick et al who all ponted. one way - low-carb high fat.I invested in some dumbells.3 months later my GP was delighted with my lowered HbA1c. At some point he will switch to yearly review.Had I not been diagnosed diabetic but pre-diabetic, I might have heeded the warning, done the same research, found out that under so-called 'healthy eating' pre-diabetes would progress to diabetes at some point, and ended up at the same place I'm at now - controlling things.I reviewed all your posts. Are you still low-carbing as you were in 2010 ? What are your bs levels doing generally ?Do you fear you need medication to control things ?I would have thought finding this forum would have been the best thing to help. An HbA1c is only a measure of doing the right thing, and a diagnosis is only a question of numbers, where those numbers are moveable. There are loads of success stories on here.Where's the problem (and I mean that honestly, as a good GP would want to know what was the problem FOR YOU) ?Geoff</blockquote>
