From many years of following the NHS official guidelines on the "how to control diabetes" diet and failing, four months ago I threw caution to the wind and switched to a LCHF lifestyle. Subsequently I am delighted to announce that today I heard I have reduced my HbA1c from 89 to 46. Isn't it great!!
My DN at the hospital, whilst being pleased, isn't keen for me to go lower, says it's borderline to being unsafe! After some "discussion" during which I put my case for wanting to get down to at least the mid 5s, she eventually agreed to ask my consultant if my insulin can be changed from Humalogmix 25 to a basal/bolus regime.
Hopefully this will enable me to maintain better control. I owe a huge debt of gratitude to Eddie and everyone here plus a few low carbers elsewhere who have inspired and encouraged me to finally get my act together! Onwards and upwards, or should that be low wards.... hmmmm ;) xx
