Got my hba1c results this afternoon from 4/4/2016
My hba1c down from 21/12/2015 at diagnosis 53 to 43
Cholesterol down from 6.1 to 4.4
Still a work in progress, but a happy bunny today ☺
Thanks to everyone here for your fantastic support and advice ☺
Well done. 43 is excellent.

Well done @Sutherlandlass Keep going you know it's working.

Thanks @Hiitsme ☺ must admit at being amazed at how well the lchf works, and at myself for managing to achieve this in such a short time! Fingers crossed that I can sustain the same progress by my next blood tests! I do find it hard to keep my carbs so low sometimes, and I can always see in my bg, when I have made a mistake or been over my limit. I had wondered if an extra dose of metformin in the morning, instead of just at night, might help? Any ideas?

I doubt that.
We cannot be perfect all of the time. No one can. We are all just trying our best but have hiccups - always.
This is a journey not a quick hop. You are both doing brilliantly.
Well done. :)
Thanks @ickihun did some experimenting with a shepherds pie with swede instead of mash and did spike me a little .
Thanks for the tip of the protein supper has helped get my morning levels down and stable for the first time since diagnosed

Try reheated mash. It doesn't spike me. ;)

6.3 at 6.45 am, and 5.8 at9am after breakfast.

Was a bit higher than normal all day yesterday, and today I've been completely out of it - some evil diabetes fairy must have sneaked knockout drops into my veins... :D:D:eek: I assume I've got some sort of a bug.

Bullies.
Can I ask users of this thread to stay on topic. This thread is for fasting bg results and is not a general chat thread. We had this problem before and people were given a general chat thread to use for that purpose. Lots of people are assisted by posting their FBG and it would be a shame to close the thread.

When people who know nothing about the LCHF diet tell me I'm killing myself being on it. I was killing myself not being on it!

Good morning
Fbg = 6.4 @ 0635
Still waiting for new grandson.
Have been looking after 2 yo grandson yesterday and today.
Could be a bit of 'stress', maybe. Ha! Ha!
