I finally managed to see the doctor to get the results for my 3 month test to review how I am doing on a reduced dose of metformin. I was a little worried as the doctor wanted to see me and I thought this meant that my results were higher.... So I was more than delighted to find out they were lower.

HbA1c. 40 (46 In Nov 14)
Cholesterol 3.9 (4.3 in Nov 14)
The DN was amazed... The Dr was pleased but more concerned that I was going overboard!!! He told me that I shouldn't be trying to lower my results any more. I find this strange but I have come to realise that it is my health and I need to do what I need to do. Anyway the bottom line is that the Dr has taken me off Glicazide completely. So now I am on just 1 x1000 sr metformin a day. So happy about this. I have to go back in 3 months for another HbA1c test to check how things are doing.
So thanks everyone for all the support and information you've shared... It's only through your experience and guidance that I've been able to achieve what I have.
