Good news all round today, well at least on the diabetes front. Three years after diagnosis, with the first three months experimenting resulting in an HbA1c of 6.1, since then all HbA1c less than 5.4. No osteoporosis, no scurvy, no kidney failure and today confirmation of the joy of helping others.
Over two years ago, a disparate group of Christians, Buddhists and atheists like me, obtained some funding to help a group of type 2 diabetics unable to fund a testing regime.
After a hard (and desperately sad process of elimination), 19 people were chosen for help. Today, I received news that of the 19, 15 had kept their HbA1c below 6 for the year.
We can make a difference!

That's excellent news John, we complain about the NHS but as you have shown there are others far worse off than us, and it's a credit to you that those you have helped have had such good results.

Wonderful news John. I hope that the message continues to spread and that the quality of life will be improved for even more diabetics via lowcarbing.
