Blimey that's impressive, 95 to 33! Was that all without medication? Well done!

Thanks for that; no, I haven't taken any medication, wanted to try the diet/activity method first. This fasting glucose, is that the finger prick over the counter tester kit? And I presume it's the same kit for the glucose tolerance testing?

Ah yes, I'm on the list for that, and will hopefully continue to be so. Although I at first thought it was a matter of semantics, it occurs to me to have other practical implications; one being what one needs to declare on insurance forms?

Just an update on this. I was 15stone and HBA1c of 54 on 10th March. Today I am 12 stone 3lbs with HBA1c of 38. My GP this morning, in answer to my question, said that yes I am no longer diabetic, but I have a tendency which, if I put weight back on, will result in me becoming diabetic again...

Sorry for perhaps naive question. I'm newly diagnosed with Hb1AC of over 50. So, if I succeed in losing weight and my reading goes down to the 30s, am I still 'diabetic' or not?
