Love the emoticon.
She does not believe in testing. Apparently people don't understand the results or become obsessive.
When I explained to her that carb gets converted into sugar in the gut and is then released into blood making bs higher she looked at me like I was an idiot. When I then asked her why she was giving me meds to bring bs down but recommending that I eat something which pushes bs up and asked for the scientific rationale she said she wouldn't see me anymore as there was no point. My then 8 year old overheard me telling Mr scandi. Her response
"But mummy that doesn't make sense! Is she thick?"
Out of the mouths of babes........

Here we go again. Makes you feel like....

Does this person also have insulin users on her books? I wonder if she remembers to tell them to carb count and inject enough insulin to cover the carbs eaten? I used this with my DN who just looked blank and said Type 1's are different.

Have just come back from docs. Hba1c 34 , weight loss 4 stone, BP 119/75 and cholestrol HDL 1.4, trigs 0.51 and LDL 5.6. Said LDL too high. Pointed out test measures all LDL but doesn't break it down. Therefore will not be taking statins! So, healthy plate or lchf? Errr think I'll stick with what I do.

Hi @Scandichic

All's well at this end. Lost 2,2 stone since mid September so delighted with that. Last Hba1c about a month ago came back with almost an identical score to yours. Debating whether to have another blood test done next week or wait until the New Year when I plan to see my doctor.

Great numbers by the way, you must be really excited.

All the best

Are you off all meds now Scandi?

No but minimum metformin and bp. Tried to go without but everything went up so back on. What is 34? Tried conversion table but don't get it. What is it. My fasting ones are in the 6s but 5s by mid morning. Goes up last thing at night

@Scandichic
Hba1c of 34 is equivalent to an average glucose count of 5.8 mmol/l

 

[jack412]

34 = 5,3% and 5.8 average on your meter

Thank you both! I knew 34 was good but 5.8 has more meaning for me!

 

[Scandichic]

Well done!

Thank you! How are you sir? All going well? Any dives planned?

I can't understand why any diabetic (unless kidney probs) eats any other way.
