Wasn't sure if to continue this thread or start a new one but anyway great news. I went for my 3 month HbA1c blood test last week and the results are in, reduced from 84 in January to 48 now in April. My weight has also dropped to 89Kg. To say I'm very pleased is an understatement. I also...

Saw the GP today for the official follow up to the HbA1c tests a few weeks ago and he's diagnosed me as expected as Type 2 diabetes. I think I freaked him out a bit by how much I already knew (thanks to this website/forum) and by what I'm already doing with my BG testing and BP testing and that...

What's 'the other one'? Is that the org.uk one? Just found that but not explored much there yet.

Thank you everyone for the responses and advice. The site says you respond quickly to posts and that's evident here, all very much appreciated. So I have now got a tester. Thanks for the recommendations, after reading through some posts in the forum and other research I've opted for the...

Hello all I had a routine private medical just over a week ago and the doctor was suspicious I might have diabetes and this suspicion was further backed up by the blood results, so I was told to see my GP immediately who sent me for the HbA1c test. The GP also directed me to this website for...
