Following on from https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/almost-in-remission-i-think.177857/#post-2328473
It's well over a year since I was last tested, so I chased the surgery and said I want an annual follow up. Bloods given last Thursday and I've an appointment at their Diabetes Clinic tomorrow morning. However, as I'm in Scotland I can see the results already.
HbA1c is down from 38 to 36.
Given I've relaxed my dietary control a little for the last 10 months (I no longer carb count or regularly do finger prick tests) I think I'm justified as regarding myself as in remission.
Cholesterol (non-fasting) :
Current result: 4.9 mmol/L on 12/11/2021
Previous result: 4.8 mmol/L on 05/11/2020
HDL 1.3 same as last year.
LDL 2.5 down from 2.8
Triglycerides 2.4 up from 1.5
