My A1c Was 6.4. The Dr Said That I Was Managing It Well But That I Really Got Out Of Control & I'm Afraid To Go To The Dr. Gained Weight.

I am not on medication but take Berberine and other supplements.

Yes, I am pretty much relieved by my A1c result. I'll get to enjoy Pasquarella Christmas tomorrow and allow myself a spoonful or so of Penne Vodka but will eat the meat portions first. I've read that the order in which you eat your food also helps with diabetes. I try to eat my carbs last.

So proud of you but mostly you must be pretty proud of yourself, Joy.

Well, I went for my bloodwork today and have received the results. I was expecting my A1c to be at least 11 and was afraid to look at my results. My A1c was 6.6. Yes, it has gone up from 6.4 but I believe if I can cut down 3/4 of how much I don't eat properly that I can maintain or drop my A1c. I believe the berberine and turmeric are helping along with the cinnamon. The weight gain was from binge-eating. I don't normally eat until 11:30AM or later and stop eating by 11PM at the latest so I pretty much fast for twelve hours. I can only say that this also helps but I don't know for sure. I'm not really afraid to go see my doctor on Monday anymore and I've also read that people my age can have a slightly higher A1c. Not sure. I'll see what the doctor says on Monday.

I agree. Ken fasts. I believe we need the nourishment.
