You're doing very well;) How do you get the MFP picture please? I just have the weight loss in figures. It would be nice to see it in another form :)
Hi Kim
If you go to your apps in MFP, click on tickers, find the one you want, then copy and paste the code given into your signature here :)

FBG 5.1 this morning, and my GP is talking about "undiagnosing" my T2 diabetes! (I actually disagree with her logic on this but it's still a positive sign!)

How is that possible? I thought Diabetes is for a lifetime, but that it is possible for some to be symptom free for months or may be a few years.

If that had happened to me I would have become very unsure about my GP. A resting Diabetes would be fine, but "undiagnosed" ... ???

11.6 That's why I'm worried and trying the 8 week Blood Sugar Diet. Was 12.8 when I started a week ago. Must admit it's hard work for me at the moment!
HbAC1 was 64 just 2 weeks ago. Not good at all.

Hang in there, the first couple of weeks are the worst and if you stick at it, it'll be worth it.

Her logic (which I've mentioned I don't agree with ) is that my HbA1c is so far below the threshold for diabetes that I no longer meet the diagnostic criteria. My personal view is that my diabetes is in remission not cured, because I'm pretty sure that if I went back to eating carbs my BG would rise rapidly, however I'm not going to test the theory just to prove the GP wrong - it doesn't matter to me what label I have or don't have on my file :)
