Vinces HbA1c

[Vince_UK]

You did the work, @Vince_UK ! AND some of it in Shanghai! Which if anything like Hong Kong, you’re surrounded by temprations 24/7! They have the well known saying the other way round: live to eat!

🙂

That looks *so* good, Vince....

 

[Lucy Honeychurch]

Excellent news, glad you enjoyed your fish, chips and mushy peas 🙂

[Grannylorraine]

Well done, you have worked hard to achieve that.

 

[Maz2]

Well done Vince. I would be very interested in how you have done this as I cannot seem to stay out of pre-diabetes. Managed it once and it has gone back again, despite my efforts. Not sure why if I am honest.

 

[Shiv Gaffney]

Congrats and glad you enjoyed it... just drooling here at the thought of it... but trying to be good here so health chicken and veg stir fry for dinner for us tonight, I might allow myself one fork full of my daughter's noodles seeing as I was so good staying away from the fish and chips😉

 

[Martin Canty]

Awesome, Vince..... An inspiration....

 

[Mark Parrott]

Fantastic, Vince. Those fish & chips are calling me!

Ooo I had forgotten about mushy peas. That looked like a very yummy lunch and I hope you smiled all through it. Well done and well deserved.

When we were on our way north I treated myself to an Auchtermochty!!! Well half of one.
Have you tried it? I had never heard of it before which is why I tried it.

Maz, I basically low carb and try to stick to 60-75gr per day.
When I am in Shanghai I also walk around 7 kms daily.
Lost 20 kilos in weight
Basically that is all I do.
I allow myself treats such as dark choccy and I eat that daily.
I feel that low carbing is the answer, difficult sometimes but pays dividends I am convinced.

‘Well, Vince the Prince made it look a cinch and he’s down to 36!’ 🙂

Tell them it was a diet of avocados, olives and strong blue cheese Vince...it’s partially true! You’re heading off the Diabetic Register at this rate but something tells me you might not want to in case complacency sets in.

🙂Absolutely correct Amigo and the odd bar or two of Moser Roth.
The biggest enemy is complacency and it is hard work to stay focussed but we must keep on track.
I am a street fighter from South Shields and never give up when I want to achieve something 😉.
My next target it as you say to get off the diabetic register but I am told that takes 5 years, so it is a longhaul but I am determined.

You’ll do it Vince, I’m sure! My fight is rather different and I can’t influence it with measured carb intake but I’ll be battling none the less.

A bap with a sandwich of haggis, bacon and haggis inside it!!!
One for a rare treat.

Thanks Vince. I probably have more carbs than you did but will battle on. /cannot lose weight as already underweight. Well done to you.

That is a cracking HbA1c result Vince, brilliant work 🙂

I really want chips for tea now not stupid omelette and salad 😉🙂

 

[Martin9]

Well, got my result. Hba1c is 36.
Record todate
Sept 2017. 78 put on metformin
Jan 2018. 33 taken of metformin
June 2018. 36. No metformin
This is my first drug free result.
Dr. called me a superstar lol and asked if I would be willing to talk to others who are not handling it so well, of course I said yes.
So I am now sitting in Seahouses having Haddock with chips and mushy peas and tartare sauce, bread and butter and thoroughly loving it.
Told the doc what I intended to do and her reply was “ Enjoy them, your pancreas can handle that occasionally “.
Vince is well pleased.

Well done, big pat on the back, shows others what can be done with some discipline & willpower..!
