I just thought I would share an incredible visit to my nurse this evening.
I only recently moved to the area and this was he second visit to the surgery and the first visit with this particular nurse. I had an awful hba1c just before Christmas after getting it down to 61 so they wanted to see me.
In the intervening 3 weeks I have got right back on the wagon and lost half a stone (total 2.5stone in 12 months) sugars are always below 7, mainly in the fives. All very good and I feel like I'm back on track after the crazy summer I had.
So I go to the appointment and am asked how my diabetes journey has been. I said I'd followed the eat well plate and been very 'healthy' but got fatter and fatter and sicker and sicker. I told her that I found LCHF last year and had great success, only to find she was very, very positive about it and said LCHF was the best way for type twos.
Then, to dumbfound me even more, she said I could have more test strips even though I only had some two weeks ago. She said that they look case by case for type twos and that those who have good control and use testing to help can have strips when they ask for them!!!
I feel very, very lucky.
