I have just got my last HB1ac result and it was 48, is this good. I assume it is.

I have been off the glicazide for over 3 monthes now and seem to be managing it with diet.

The only real foods that I have completely cut out are cereal and rice, still eating bread, pasta and having real ale!

I would like to get it lower but my GP says that seems to be fine.

well done, you are managing it well. just dropping the 2.5 stone will help
as to you not being convinced, don't trust me trust the numbers, you are a diabetic.that is managed by diet and glicazide.

thanks, your right but can be hard at times.

I do think that people on here are sometimes people on here are too anal about things. You still have to live your life and enjoy it from time to time.
