Hello everyone.
I was diagnosed type 2 in late August after a routine blood test at my GP. It came as no surprise as I had been experiencing a few symptoms for a while but had chosen to ignore them.
My HbA1c came back at 97 so was immediately put on 2000 mg Metformin daily Dapagliflozin 10 mg and Atorvastatin 20 mg.
For a little background I’m 54 and own a forth generation family bakery so you can imagine my whole life i have eaten pies and pastries on a daily basis. I would eat bread with every meal and could easily eat a large white loaf every day. During the pandemic we were classified as essential workers so found ourselves working 12-14 hr days and in no time my weight had ballooned to 18 stone.
Fast forward to today. I’ve been following a low carb diet as recommended by you guys. I’ve stoped eatin pasta potatoes pastries cakes and limit myself to one slice of whole meal bread a day. I set myself goals and allow myself 1 treat per month,usually a small fish with a few chips.
on Monday I had my first follow up blood review and this morning I received the results….. HbA1c of 37 and I’ve lost 3 1/2 stone. I haven’t felt this good in years.
I would like to thank you all for the advice I have received from reading other people’s posts and hope this can inspire others to do the same. It really works.
