I was diagnosed in Feb, given metformin and gliclazide in March. Stopped taking them around the end of April (much to my DN's disgust - she threatened me with insulin if I wouldn't take the tablets!) I have been low carbing almost since diagnosis.
Since my last blood test I have spent 10 weeks in Turkey, eating low carb over there was pretty much a challenge in itself, but I did pretty well about not giving in to temptation.
The result shows in the blood test I had last week. HbA1c is now 42, great when compared to 129 six months ago, but I wish I'd got it down that extra point into non diabetic... Maybe I'm one of those people who are never happy
Also today I had the results of my first eye screening. It apparently showed slight retinopathy but does not require any treatment at the moment. It's the same standard letter my mother in law got after hers.
