Just returned from Diabetic Clinic appointment.
HbA1c reduced from 8.1 in December to 5.8 today.
Total Cholestrol reduced from 4.9 in December to 4.1 today.
Levemir reduced from 40 units/day to 30 units/day during same period.
Novorapid reduced in same proportion.
Only change in lifestyle was to reduce carb intake after finding this forum in January.
I would say I am on a medium carb diet as opposed to low carb but the only bread I eat now is Fergus's recipe, I don't eat potatoes or rice and the only pasta I eat is the low carb variety.
As a by product I have also lost about a stone in the same period.
Thanks to all the contributors on this forum who have opened my eyes to the possibilities.
