[QUOTE="nannyg123, post: 533808, member: 95586"] UPDATE Just had a call from a very surprised sounding DN..... HbA1c at diagnosis Jan 14 = 106 Feb 14 = 79 End Apr 14 = 47!!! Quote from nurse - whatever you've been doing keep it up. Thank you I replied. What I wanted to say was I've ignored NHS advice. Bought a meter and am testing regularly. Am pleased that test result matches up with my average bs results from my iBG star meter. Significantly reduced carbs. Very little pasta or rice as can spike my bs. Only Livlife bread (certainly not the white bread she said I could have as some people don't like wholemeal) and only a few new potatoes occasionally. Not missing carbs at all. Really enjoying eating food cooked from scratch. Weight loss of 13kg since Jan 2nd. Only 5 more kg to go until within recommended range. Only slight downside is total cholesterol up from 4.8 Jan to 5.8. Too much full fat Greek yogurt and cheese?! Nurse not concerned but would appreciate your thoughts.
