Hi Everyone
Not sure whether to celebrate or be concerned that I might not have been a diabetic in the first place.
I certainly still have many of the symptoms though (thirst, tiredness, toilet all the time...)
I have certainly earned the number though, tried hard to stick to a low carb diet (some treats along the way), lots of exercise (not enough). Lost approx 1.5 stone, now at target weight of 68KG). Healthier lifestyle for sure. Don't intend to go back.
I do not take any meds, apart from blood pressure tabs.
I was tested in April 13 (HBa1C = 58), then again after 2 weeks (57). Test in September showed 54. Latest test is 37 (sounds like an error but I'm assured that it is not).
Have not been to doctor about this result (yet), receptionist said "no action as in normal range".
Am I in remission? What about the symptoms?
I self test regularly and my waking level is between 5.4 and 6.0. After meals, 2 hour, below 7.4 mostly.
Any comments or similar performance story to share?
Look forward to hearing from the group, thank you in anticipation
