I’ve got my emergency physio appointment tomorrow I fell in October and as I can’t use my left arm / hand following strokes , I was given an emergency appointment as not being able to use my left and my right arms was deemed awkward. Anyway it’s tomorrow morning

The HbA1c reduction from 85 to 46 is good.
48 and above is diabetic. 42-47 is pre-diabetic, and below 42 is non-diabetic.
You have done well to lower your HbA1c so much in less than 3 months. Keep on doing what you are doing and you should get into the non-diabetic range by your next HbA1c test.
The background retinopathy would be due to your former high HbA1c, it should improve as you lower your blood sugars.

Thank you so much!
Enjoy the holiday season.
God bless!

Sorry, I thought you were type 1 for some reason. Until I get a proper diagnosis, I'm working (perhaps optimistically) on the principal that the insulin is merely an interim thing until things stabalise. No HCP has actually said type 1 or LADA yet, just to "treat it" as type 1.

it was the same with me. im still not sure if they are right or not. but b bg seems to be saying they are i fell from 68 units to none in 10 weeks. if it turns out your type 2 its possible. the others no chance.

And I get the impression it is going to be up to me, myself to work out if I'm type 2 or not, by experimentation. If the diabetic clinic aren't going to commit to a diagnosis after 5 weeks, I suspect they never will.

@ karen8967 Have you finished your Christmas shopping, can't believe I've forgotten some cards for our neighbors so need to go out again,and later we need to take to the motorways to pick up my eldest son who's coming home for Christmas. Looking forward to this,not seen him for a while but we talk on phone most days! K Have a lovely Christmas and take care out and about over weekend!K
 
Good morning all. Blood sugars were 5.4 this morning.

@Goacher55 -- hope your appointment goes well and they'll be able to help.
@JohnEGreen -- what a lot of determination, you must be really proud of your grandson.

Off to celebrate our wedding anniversary at a Brazilian rodizio restaurant, where they serve all-you-can-eat meat on skewers.
