Just had my first follow-up. In January I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes with an a1c of 8.7. As soon as I was diagnosed I got on this sub, read everything available and changed my lifestyle. I have been eating low carb high fat (lazy keto basically) and lots of exercise. Well today they said my a1c was 5.8.
Not only was my a1c low but my numbers were better across the board. 210 cholesterol down to 170 (Dr. Thought that was becausethe cholesterol meds but I told her I haven't taken any. My blood pressure is the lowest it has been since I was in my early 20s (in my mid 30s now). My triglycerides are down to normal and my Vitamin D, which was low is now normal. No more fatty deposits on my liver as well.
I just want to thank everyone on this sub for everything they post and the mods for providing so many great resources on the sidebar. I am halfway to my goal weight right now so hopefully in a few more months I will be able to post here again with an a1c in the 4's!
