So...

I was 78 at the beginning of the year and with lowering my carbs, exercise and weight loss I moved to 46 in June. I have received my results today and...

Drum roll please...

39!

Doctor has said to come off the daplaflaglozin immediately and keep measuring my own bloods. If it's still reading okay in 2 weeks come off the bydureon too

Then repeat blood test in 3 months time and hopefully look at reducing Metformin too

I am so pleased. This forum has been so helpful!

Doctor said she will use my success story to sell the lowering of carbs plus weight loss plus exercise as a means to effecting change

Thanks all.
I suspect my hba1c will increase with fewer drugs but not sure what I should target myself towards
