I was diagnosed T2 in January with an HBA1C of 76. Diabetes support services seem to have stopped in my area during Covid, so I cracked on with my diet and meter etc at home and finally got a follow up test last week after asking for one. Phoned the surgery for the results today and it was 33.
Obviously I'm absolutely delighted and hopefully they'll be in touch for a proper consultation, but I wanted to check here...is this as good as it sounds? Have I won?
Edit - I've been on Metformin as well. More edit - I know that remission is defined more or less as <48 consistently without medication, so I'll have to see if that holds true for me. But on a first reading, is this as good as it sounds?
