Hi Craig it was 98 hbac1 .. not sure What mmol that is?

 

[Craigmartin]

Think it's 11ish? You have got from there to 5-7range under 3 month so you are doing something right in the excersise and food intake. Mine was 18.1 April22nd between 9 and 10 at present but testing after meals rise between 0.6 and 1.3 so maybe may get consistently under 7 5 with another month?

[salimdost]

My name is Salim. I am in Toronto, Canada.
I was born on 11 June, 1957.

I am married with 2 boys.

At present I work in a gift shop which is closed due to pandemic.

I joined this site so I can make some friends and also get to know some of the best foods for type II diabetes.

I will welcome any comments.

 

[Nancy Jo]

Hi! I'm Nancy Jo from Texas. I'm a type 1.5 for at least 30 yrs. I use a MimiMed Insulin Pump and test 8 times a day. Using the pump, Novolog, along with proper meal planning, exercise and rest I have kept my BS around 7.1.
I'm excited to be part of this group! Hope everyone is doing well!

 

[Amanda Moore]

Hi I am a new member here who just joined this morning,

I am from the UK and an Editor and writer of a new e-magazine. I also take my own professional photography mostly on food once I have styled it.

I consider myself to be spiritual not religious and I hate politics, because it creates inequality and all you need to see is what it has done to the world nowadays. It's caused huge shambles to the world.

I have diabetes mellitus type 2 and was diagnosed some 9 years ago. I manage it by medicines, diet and exercise. But thank goodness I am not on insulin and won't be, if I control it with my existing daily regime. That is so my doctor informs me.

I am right proper foodie though who was born into the family catering profession and I descend from a long line of highly successful caterers and entrepreneurs within hundreds of years within my ancestry roots.
