Whilst I was diagnosed (T2) years ago, I never really took it seriously until my doctor got a bit angry with me in March after some horrible figures in January's test. I've been using the Freestyle Libre and have almost completely changed my eating/exercise regime (was too much/too little and now very careful and more than I thought I could ever manage!). So I went for my latest set of bloods today and am for the first time really excited with teh anticipation of what they will be.
I'm hoping for something similar to you on the basis of the Libre readings. I noticed that about four weeks into upping my exercise and being much more careful about my food, something seems to change in my body - I became suddenly full of energy, able to get up in the morning without four alarms and a mainline shot of espresso or two, and could actually run all the way round the local park without having to break into a walk.
I've never before felt that I could actually make a difference by doing such simple, and, I now find, enjoyable, little things. Well done you though! It's a fantastic result. I too find that many "diabetes doctors" are reading from a play book here and not really "specialising" other than in how to deal with a rather intractable group of usually curmudgeonly patients that the partners in the practice don't want to have to deal with!
