NOT diabetic any more

The doctor sent me for a blood test and I altered the form so my HBa1C was checked as well as I had been getting a lot of low scores on my home monitor (4,5,6). I inquired at the doctors yesterday about the results. All the receptionist could tell it was normal but not the figure. Now normal is massively significant and she had a slot free to see the diabetic nurse, not my usual one but she would be able to tell me the score. I had to wait until 3 but decided it was worth it. Normal could mean anything.

I went in and she told me it was 43, Wow that is non diabetic

I weighed myself as well, 85 kilos, frustrating that I had not lost weight but I was so fired up about not being diabetic.

My steps along the way

My steps

1) Cutting carbs and following Michael Mosley meal plans

a.  Lost a lot(a kilo every 2 weeks) but eventually plateaued

2) Trying Exante meal sachets

a.  Not filling and eventually found they push my blood sugar up

3) Trying Fast 800 shakes

a.  Not filling enough

4) Going low carb, high fat and tracking carbs

a.  Much more filling and makes more scientific sense

5) Intermittent fasting 16:8

a.  Quite easy and makes scientific sense

6) Keto

a.  Reduced my blood sugar
