    HbA1c reduction rate

    I've not been on here for a while and apologies for hijacking this thread, but my query is similar to the OP. Apologies for the long post too! My partner had a very similar experience to @Jim Lahey when they rapidly got their HBA1C down from over 100 to 41 in 6 months. Almost 4 years since...

    @Rachox I keep meaning to ask you, why just two cherry toms? Are you particularly sensitive to them?

    Happy Birthday @ianpspurs! Like you said, all the best people have birthdays in June! For the avoidance of doubt, the hug was to commiserate sharing your birthday with Bojo! Autocorrect wanted to change that to Bono for some reason, but unsure if you find him a more desirable birthday twin.

    Floaters

    I'm not trying to scare anyone. I said that floaters are not usually something to worry about, but a sudden increase can sometimes indicate a more serious problem (like @Dark Horse has also said). The OP has asked for advice and I am trying to be helpful here. We're all on the same page - e.g...

    Floaters

    Yes, floaters can happen to anyone and aren't necessarily a sign that something is wrong. Indeed, I have one in my left eye and I'm not diabetic. However, in the context of a recent diagnosis, significant changes in BG levels and sudden changes in vision (floaters or otherwise), it would be...

    Floaters

    If you're in any way concerned, get your eyes checked. Like others have said, retinopathy can worsen on improved blood glucose control and it usually stabilises However, in some cases, where there is a rapid change, there can be an escalation and treatment might be needed. My husband ended up...

    I'm back after being AWOL for a while. We have had a lovely birthday week (our birthdays are 5 days apart), including a few days in North Wales. Back with a bump today, as Mr B had his Eye Hospital appointment, but all was well this time. Injection in the left eye today which is still...

    Is it possible to be both keto and Vegan?

    I'm not vegan (used to be veggie many moons ago), but I'm open to eating more plant based meals. I follow @modernfoodstories on Instagram and I think most (if not all) her recipes are vegan or have vegan versions. I've not tried any of her recipes yet, but they look delicious...
