"I was diagnosed type 2 on christmas eve with a HbA1c of 64
Luckily I was pointed in the direction of this site and after a lot of reading decided to give the low carb a go. It was like a few people had said tough for the first few weeks but I am glad I managed to stick it out.
Since christmas i have managed to get my weight down from 14st 4 to 12st 6 and more importantly my HbA1c down to 43.
This has been achieved by just cutting the carbs down doing a bit more walking and no medication. My dogs look fitter too.
So it goes to prove that low carb is definitely worth the effort."

As almost always, it's our old friend low carb that brings success. For seven years at the flog the good news re. low carb never stops, and yet again no meds required to tame the betus. It was ever thus and will always be thus.
