41mmols - no longer pre diabetes yay!

[Lovelyview]

Celebrating as I've dropped from 45 mmol on my HbA1c test to 41mmol since March so I'm no longer pre-diabetic. Lost 5kg (I was never overweight but had crept up over the years) and cut right down on sugar and refined carbs while eating more vegetables, protein, legumes and nuts. I also went on an NHS healthy eating course which helped and have been doing the Slimpod healthy eating/diet programme. Now I need to keep it like this. I'm going to focus on maintaining the diet - which doesn't involve starving thank goodness - and exercise more.

Brilliant!

You star, I've done the same and it is NOT an easy change to make. I know lots of people don't manage to reverse things. You must be over the moon, congratulations

Well done That is great
I'm currently trying to do the same as my recent hba1c was 46

Thank you! I hope you manage it. I'm sure the weight loss is the main factor. I cut out anything with added sugar completely to kick start the weight loss. I found the NHS course for pre-diabetics very helpful and I still listen to a Slimpod hypnosis every night which I also think helps me.

Thank you. My Dad had type 2 diabetes which gave me some extra motivation. Have you found it easy to maintain a healthy weight/dietary changes?
