Hello dear friends, me again just logging on with my annual blood results. Up a point to 45, which is what I expected, being somewhat distracted by the onset of CLL (which is still dormant, thank goodness). I doubt if my HbA1C will ever go much lower but I'll be making sure it doesn't go any higher.
Eating is still an exciting adventure and exercise has broadened with a summer kayaking course (water's warmer).
I'm especially pleased with the cholesterol results, having started statins again in March. Here's what hughcalc

Many many thanks once again for all your advice and especially for introducing me to keto rolls, which have proved a welcome replacement for our much lamented Lidl rolls.
