Hi Folks,
I didnt post on Success Stories because that string doesnt seem to get read any more....
I was diagnosed in May :-
HBA1C 10.3
Fasting BG 13
Weight 17stone 5
Trigs 7.7
2 x 500 Metformin
3 month review last August
HBA1C 5.8
Fasting BG Never higher than 5's - Meal +2, never higher than 6.9
Weight 14st 6
Trigs 1
Reduced medication to 1 x 500 Metformin
Today had my 6 month review
HBA1C 5.6
Fasting BG Never Higher than 5's - Meal + 2, never higher than 6.9
Weight 13st 6
Trigs 0.9
OFF MEDICATION!!
BP and cholesterol was never a problem even on diagnosis.
The diabetic nurse told me that she is having a torrid time trying to get practice diabetics even to take their medication, let alone diet and exercise. She said that she only wished that they would be like me and "take it on" and she asked me if I would go along to speak at her group therapy sessions to provide encouragement to the group.
My final goal is to get HBA1C down to 5.0/5.1, weight down to 13stone, BMI down to 25, and maintain, maintain, maintain.
Regards Steve
