December Snapshot.

I got my hba1c results yesterday after getting the blood tests done on Saturday morning'

The date at the bottom of the pix do not match the numbers in the chart which go back nearly three years. The last 34 on the end of the line is the one I have just got back.

The speed bump that went to 58.4 is from eating a lot of cheap bananas at 00.50 a kilo, that is when my GP put me on Metformin.

Keeping in between the lines.

According to what I have been reading, I have been in remission for the last six months (June) apparently. I still take Metformin so whether that makes a difference in the remission thingy I do not know.

My GP never said anything about remission / cured when I saw him the other day.

Both graphs are absolutely brilliant!
Well done you!
Wether in remission or not, you have tremendous control and the health benefits will be more than make up for the lack of enthusiasm your GP has shown.
Again, chuffin brilliant!

He had a fair bit of stuff to get through in my allotted time which was not about my T2, which run over to twenty minutes in the end.

Thanks for the encouragement.

I took my food diary to my new GPs appointment last year after my annual review, she was gobsmacked.
Educating doctors is necessary.

I have to be fair he did say I had T2 under control, he knows, and has no probs with me eating a lower carb diet.
