Hello,

My last HBa1c in late Oct 2024 was 79 after dropping from 113.

Everyone including my GP advised me not to do it before 3 months, only the Diabetic consultant allowed me to do it so soon ( done it 2 Dec, really should have been end of Dec) so basically after 5 weeks from last result!

My result is 59!!! target of less than 60 achieved with a reduction in my Diabetes medicine.So grateful to God.

Also thank you to everyone on here who inspired me and helped.

I will take it easy now, will try to see if it will go lower but not concerned if it doesn't, as I feel good, weight down, eyes are good (6/7.5 and 6/9.5), blood pressure down etc etc.

Going Pakistan for 2 weeks holiday soon and they don't do low carbs there so will enjoy it with no stress !!
 
That's a great result - well done, and thanks for sharing. It's always good to have success stories posted. Enjoy your holiday, low carb or otherwise. For my part I'm going to have to deal with the annual challenge of having to navigate Xmas with all its associated goodies, as are many others.
 
Thank you very much.

I am stubborn, stupid or resilient not and insisted on reduction of medicine when I could have achieved the results quicker and easier.

Good luck with Christmas, enjoy the great occasion.. you can join all of us on a mega low carb in the new year🙂
 
Brillliant stuff - well done - enjoy your couple of weeks away, you deserve it 🙂
 
Well done
 
Thank you guys, really appreciate it
 
Just looked at my CGM and as expected the HBa1c is lower and so not accurate
