    Latest HbA1c. Excellent news.

    Thank you. And well done to you too. Feels great doesn't it? :). I was also so thrilled to come off Metformin after only being on it for about three months. I do still follow a low-carb diet (typically 50-80g/day) although I do allow myself the odd treat these days, and thoroughly enjoy them...
