Hi everyone. I’ve had a very emotional day today. So at the beginning of January I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. My whole world fell apart, I cried for about a week and then told myself to pull myself together. My hba1c was 89 and I was immediately put on 2 metformins a day. I was told to increase this to 4 a day. I said I wasn’t comfortable with that so I stayed on 2 a day. Since then I have lost 2 stone by changing a few things with my diet and lifestyle. I had my follow up blood test yesterday and the doctor phoned me this morning with the results. My hba1c is now 49. I burst out crying on the phone and the doctor said this is very good news. You’ve done amazingly well. I think the emotion of finding out that I have been doing the right things made the tears come. I have a follow up with the diabetes nurse on Tuesday and I hope that she will also think this is good. Thanks for reading x

I cried too when my second HbA1c came in as barely prediabetic rather than thorougly diabetic. It's one of those moments you barely dare hope for, and it is such a happy achievement. So congratulations, well done, and you had better be REALLY proud of yourself! :)
 
Way to go keep at it !!!!!!! When it happen to me I let out a yell .....
