Hi All,

Back to the doctor today.

After 4 months on my diet I have gone from 44 to 36 waist and lost 4 stone.

My hbac1 is now 5, down from 7.5 in August!

My doctor says she has never seen anyone do that in 25 years.

:(

Fantastic Kevin, well done! 🙂
 
Thanks for the update, Kev - and very well done! 🙂
 
Congratulations Kev, excellent result. You must feel fit as a fiddle. 🙂
 
Wow, that's amazing. Congratulations.
 
Well done Kevin what excellent results

Thats great well done 🙂
 
Thanks for all your support and encouragement.

First Xmas without my favourite - Jelly Babies, still at least everyone knew what to buy me....new clothes.

Good health to you all in 2012.

🙂
 
Very encouraging results there Kevin. 🙂

I went a slightly different route to you but achieved very similar results. I just moderated my carb intake rather than clobbering it completely. Fortunately I seem to prefer the low GI stuff as a matter of course too so that was a bonus.

My HBA1c went from 13.3 at diagnosis (in October, 2009) to 5.7 just a few months ago. I guess if I wanted to get it lower (which I don't), going even lower carb would do the job (but I just like them too much!).

Anyway, well done!

Andy 🙂
