Hi everyone

Read many posts on here and learnt a l lot already but this is my first post. Just signed up

Diagnosed around 8 weeks ago - hba1c 51.

Lost over 2 1/2 stone since - no medication.
 
Thanks Cathy...I never thought it possible to feel as improved in just 2 months. And it's been easy as I've completely lost the desire to eat any of the rubbish I did till then. At least something really positive has come from my getting diagnosed.

I get that, to be honest I wouldn’t go back to my old eating habits now if I could, I feel so much better on low carb and I’m loving the weight loss 😛 makes me smile now when I remember my first week of diagnosis, my life was over, I would never enjoy food again 😱 now six months on, over two stone lighter, sleeping better, more energy and bg under control 😉

Blood pressure - I'm on meds for high blood pressure. I had a problem with low pressure for over 6 months I think, and have had my meds changed a couple of times.

great to hear how well it's all going for you...a lot of hard work that's certainly paying off.

I was put on a single 5mg BP pill (amlodopine) around 3 weeks ago but my BP is still not great.
