I just wanted to share with you all the results of my being on LCHF for approx 9 - 10 weeks:
Previous A1C on 16/9 6.2 - Todays result 5.5
I am so happy with this result it just proves that LCHF for me works, my Doc was very impressed, didnt ask what type of diet I was on but just said whatever youre doing keep doing it, he suggested that I could come off Metformin but Ive decided to keep on it for now I only have 1 x 500 mg ER per day.
My BMI now at 24
Weight has dropped from 79kgs 12 months ago to 63 kgs
Ok now the not so good stuff he said my cholesterol isnt too good but agreed that I could try to get it down without using Crestor (statin), I explained that I believe that with diet & exercise & fish oil supplements etc it will come down, so he will have another look at it at my next 3 monthly check up.
I will post my numbers & would greatly appreciate any advise as I am determined not to go back on a statin.
Thanks to all on this forum, without your advise & wisdom I would still be following the ADA's advise & I'm sure my numbers would be climbing, I am now doing the happy dance :bounce:
