Hi Everybody,
I was diagnosed at the end of last year, came on the Forum immediately but then was "advised" by the nurse at my then GP Practice not to visit the internet to find out about Diabetes! A story for another thread no doubt.
I'm on 500mg metformin twice a day and 6 months on my HB1AC is down to 49 (from 63initially).
A new GP practice and practice nurse is delighted by my HB1AC reading but worried about my cholesterol at 5.9 (not mentioned previously) and recommends the LCHF diet, so just on first week of 10 week course with Louise and am waiting for my blood monitor to arrive.
So in the meanwhile here's a bit about me
