Latest update: Now in week 22 of the T2D pathway to remission program.
Now fully back on "normal" food, no more shakes.
Back up to approx 1800 cals per day.
Weight stable around 89kg.
Blood Glucose levels stable around 4.5 to 5.5.
Have not lost any more weight, but despite increasing calories, have not put on any additional weight either, so its all good.
Had my annual diabetic review today, met the nurse (actually she was a "Sister"!)
Went through my stats, last blood test, last HbA1c, cholesterol, etc, etc, she was pleased with my progress.
Had my feet tickled and all good there too.
I will be having another blood test in early April, and if my levels are still in the "normal" range, will then be officially considered in Remission.
To be honest, I was quite nervous about the food re-introduction phase, but it had in fact turned out ok. I have tried various new foods and recipes and am easily maintaining a low carb diet, with lots of recipes in the bank so to speak, so that I have a good selection of suitable foods and recipes for whenever I need them.
For me, it is a whole lifestyle change, and I fully embrace that, as I know it will benefit me in the long term with better health, so it is totally worth it.
Am now thinking about a nice holiday, (after my next blood test), possibly a Cruise, as the last six months have been a bit stressful, with lots to think about, so it would be nice to just chill out and switch off and relax somewhere. We have done a few cruises in the past, so would be good to go on another one.
