[ickihun]

fbg 4.8 today

Some excellent 4s @13lizanne . You have definitely found what works for you. I'm chuffed for you.

 

[Knighthawk22]

Good morning everyone it's a 4.8 for me this wet Wednesday morning

Have a great day

5.1 at 10pm last night and 5.7 this am

 

[Bigman49]

0745 this morning and 6.7. I had a glass of milk and a little bit of Brie just before bedtime but in the last 3 weeks my morning weekly average is down from 10.4 to 8.1 which is a 25% reduction that I am very pleased with. Total weight loss in 3 weeks is 7 lb 14oz so only another few stone to lose. LoL! Now in the stage of missing meals as I still feel full. A few walnuts /Brazil's keeps the full feeling with a glass of water or tea/coffee.

5.4 @ 07:40

Beers, sausage roll (incl the funny bit) and still just 6.9
No more posting for a day or two, flying, so toenails checked into the hold

[Tim55]

Morning All

5.8 for me this morning, and off to hospital again - this time for some eye piccies they couldn't do last time.....

 

[Ultramum]

8.2 @ 6:45

 

[debrasue]

hello all
4.2 at 06.15am today.

You're getting some great readings lately,@geefull and that is a spectacular HbA1c ! Well done, and well done on the continuing weight loss, too.

 

[debrasue]

Thanks @ickihun I did mean to say April not February. I am having eye screening and hba1c blood test on 30th March and seeing the practice nurse on 4th April. I haven't met her but she did say that I had done brilliantly reducing from 119 to 54 after I was told that I had type 2.

Well done, Swiggy!
I agree with @ickihun - if you're doing this well without meds, it's definitely worth seeing how far you can go without them. You might surprise yourself!
Meds are a useful tool in the fight against diabetes, of course, but there are many who would give their eye teeth to be controlling it via diet/exercise alone.
Keep up the good work!
