I needed to read this today. Well done!1 -
Formally diagnosed T2 March 2023 with HbA1c 86 Mmol & very obese with BMI 35. Offered Metformin, but asked for some time to change lifestyle.
Big wake up call. Offered NHS dietician support and whilst waiting for that was signposted to resources -namely Diabetes.co.uk
With those valuable resources- for which I am so thankful, lower carbs & exercise, my HbA1c is greatly reduced (52 mmol -November 2023)
Still T2, but maybe next will be in prediabetic or even normal range
Lost 41lbs too.
A “nearly there”success story 😊2 -

Wow you are on the right track. 41 pounds is huge and your determination is inspiring. Thank you for posting.1 -
Cheers @ByeByeToDiabetes! Not saying it was easy - was hard, with loads of bumps & crashes ! ….& I have still another 41lbs to a reasonable weight goal! I feel lucky my body has responded to my efforts & wish everyone else in the same boat all the best & hope all can succeed!

That's not A1C it's my daily fasting in the morning. They check my A1C every 3 months.

Yes I did all this to myself. I keep saying what to hell i'm 75 years old. Well I started on April 2nd to watch my diet. april 3rd seen 6 today was 6.9 so doing something right. Now to get more than a few good days. I start then give up. I need help.
I'm 70 and in mid-December I was diagnosed with Type II Diabetes. My A1C was 14.7. The day before I went to the doctor I fainted while getting ready for work. Last Thursday My A1C was 6.3. My doctor was elated. She had a note to herself to order me insulin. She tore it up in front of me.
I have an unusual perspective. My job is to take people to Dialysis. These people are tested. Several have said no more and stayed home to die. I miss them.
I'm pulling for you and at the same time congratulate you. You are doing great!0 -
ASSOP How long did it take you to reverse your diabetes. You did great. Well good results again this morning b/s 5.6 and Lost the lb i gained yesterday. And I have no intentions on finding it. LOL. So let's all get ourselves a great day. My eggs are boiling.0

Well today is ok but darn I forgot to take my b/s took it after having a coffee and 2 oz of pickerel. It was only at 6.9 right after. So kind of wonder how low it was. I seen my nurse practioner for a bit yesterday in the hallway showed her my book She was impressed and said if I go under four to call her.2

Great job ! My A1C was recently back to 5.9 pre-diabetic after I gained 80 lbs back from losing 100. that and my high cholesterol is motivation enough to get my butt in gear!0 -
Go for it night hawk we can do this. Why because we have to. For me it's not a want anymore it's a need. I need to control my glucose. I'm on my 9th day all under seven so doing something right.1

I have a medium term story:
5 years, 2 months ago my A1C was 48 mmol/litre (which is on the cusp between full-blown diabetes and borderline diabetes.) I went on a diet, going from 190 pounds to 140 over 4 months (BMI of 28 to a BMI of 21). I have kept the weight off for those 5 years.
My A1C fell to 36 mmol/litre at the end of the diet; I had it tested late last year and it was 32 mmol/litre. My cholesterol and blood pressure both improved as well.3 -

I hear you loud and clear! My race against diabetes (and against ozepmic the new wonder drug) has me going right now. I don't want to be diabetic neither do I want to be pre-diabetic. I hope to lower my A1C by July when I have my next bloodwork done. As for the morning sugar today, it was good 101 again, which is only 2 points away from being normal (glucose-wise lol).
We can do this. I have a ton to lose and I am determined to kick type 2 diabetes and pounds to the curb.1 -
I have low blood sugar and was not eating enough so this has helped me recognize what I am eating and that I do need to eat a little more. If I eat good things and often I have not had any issues with going to low. Low blood sugar is the worse feeling for me, hard to get it back up once it drops!

In August of 2023 my A1C got to 6.0. I had been pre diabetic for probably the last 5 years. Dr told me if I didn’t do something I would become type 2 diabetic. Started my weight loss journey the next day. I weighed 208 lbs. Cut my sugar intake to 25g a day. 8 months later I’m down 53 lbs and my A1C is 5.4. No longer pre diabetic!1

Wow, that's amazing. I hope to be as successful as you are. How did you monitor the 25g of sugar/day? Here on MFP? Also, how did you come up with 25g/per day? I just got recently diagnosed with diabetes and try to learn as much as possible as quickly as possible because this diabetes thing has to go. :-) I hope you don't mind me asking.1 -
Good morning yesterday was another good day and my fasting was 5.4 this morning. And I also had a good week with a loss of 2 lbs at tops last night. What is tops stands for take off lbs sensibly.1

Ok I'm on 11 days under 7 today 5.3 So yesterday another good day. Mind you the scale don't want to be good. But that will come with time.1
