My Type 2 journey

[Ian Robinson]

Got my result back today of my HbA1c, 49, not too happy with that, thought it would of been better since I've been on medication for three months and lost nearly a stone and a half.

Got to see the nurse next Thursday

Sorry to hear you were disappointed with your hbA1c result after putting in so much effort. Well done on the weight loss Ian, it will make a difference and your blood sugars are reducing. Managing your diabetes is a long term process and you are very close to being under the diabetes threshold.
I hope your appointment with the nurse goes well.

Only a smidge over the diabetic level so whilst the result wasn't exactly what you were hoping for, you've done really well - keep going, it's a marathon, not a sprint

Sorry to hear you are a bit disappointed with your result and I can kind of understand that especially if you have put so much work into losing weight.

What sort of things are you typically eating for breakfast, lunch and evening meal?

I wonder if eating to reduce your BG rather than eating to lose weight might be a more successful option for you as an individual.
Have you been finger prick testing to see how your body is responding to the food you are eating. Perhaps that will help you make more progress, if you aren't currently testing.
