[QUOTE="ExoticBehemoth, post: 1613349, member: 441978"] By way of an update I went back to the diabetic nurse today for a follow up where she checked my feet and gave me an immunisation. I explained to her that I had made the decision not to commence the glicazide, I took the increased metformin but more significantly had made some big dietary changes. In fairness to her she said that the changes I had made were not recommended but when I showed her my testing record she was pleased with the results and said that there was indeed no need to take glicazide. She also indicated that after my next Hb1Ac if I remain stable she thinks I should stop testing. I don’t plan to do that because I find having the feedback of getting positive results helps keep me on track - keeping my numbers low reduces the temptation to be bad. I feel like already I am doing much better due to fairly simple advice on here. [IMG]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171109/6bfc8ae995cff868caef9f3658400988.jpg[/IMG] My next step is reducing my weight as at the moment with the high fat component it seems to be creeping up.
