So, when I started, I thought that my a1c was 9.3. This is because I don't speak the local language well, and also the number format was what I expect from a1c, not fasting blood sugar.

Starting results - September 4:
Fasting blood sugar 168
A1C: ??

Today:
Fasting blood sugar: 81 !!!
A1C: 6.6

The doctor sounded really positive about my changes. Since Sep 4, I've lost 4 kg and she was very happy with the log of blood sugar I've been keeping. She wants me to come in again after 3 months and have another check. She believes that according to my log, my blood sugar should be around 6 at my next checkup if I keep going the way I am.

Some other blood values were high (liver values especially) but if I continue to lose weight she expects everything to be normal.

Thanks for all the information and support you post here. It's really helped me quickly find a diet that is working to control my blood sugar, and I'm sure just the last 3 weeks of work has reduced my A1C from whatever it was before, so that I don't need meds.

Thank you everyone!!!

Thanks everyone! I am really happy with my eating plan. I feel satisfied so it's easier to pass by sweet or carby snacks. I'm glad that my husband is so supportive. He eats what I eat.
