This year has gone so fast it was this time last year I was drinking like a fish my eyes were blurry and I was feeling quiet ill so had to see the GP, Hba1c was 125, BP was through the roof and was almost 22stone.
A year on and Hba1c is 35 BP normal and just hitting 17stone so into the 16's next week if all goes to plan, I can run 4miles without much effort I feel pretty good. Food changes have stuck and love what I am eating, never thought I could go a year without a big Mac but it has been easy and the thought of one makes me sick even hate the smell passing a McDonalds.
What have I lost, Nothing apart from weight
What have I gained, My life back and knowing where to come if I need help or just a chat.
Gave up with the GP's promise of a review in September so went private again for blood tests, one thing that I learnt early on here was that I needed to get total control of things from the start so the GP's could not offer me that but your help did.
Thank you so much
