Desperate to share my good news. I was diagnosed last last year with ti diabetes. Today I saw my DSN for the results of the first blood tests I've just recently had. Bearing in mind my bg levels were in the 20s when I was first put on Insulin (mixed), I can't believe what I've achieved. My HBA1c is 51mmols, DCCT 6.8% and I've managed to reduce my cholesterol from 7.2 to 5.6mmol/L just with a change to my diet. I walked into the surgery with a pounding heart wondering what I was going to be told, came out with a spring in my step and a grin that a cheshire cat would be envious of. I still have some work to do, but I'm getting there.
