    Thank you for your kind words. I still have to pinch myself to be honest. Well done to you too. We have found what works for us re controlling blood glucose levels which has stopped the need for medication. Long may that last. What really brings this home to me is a family member, who was...

    OVER 6 YEARS IN OFFICIAL REMISSION THANKS TO THIS FORUM - SHARING WHAT WORKS FOR ME

    It was all the success stories I read at the start of my 'reversal adventure' (love the description) that inspired me and the reason I share mine.

    COVID jab

I had covid symptoms at the end of 2019 (flu like which lasted from 26 November until 18 December on and off - 3 waves - kept thinking I was getting over it then ended up back in front of the fire freezing!!!) and as soon as covid antibody tests became available to...

    Thank You @Bulkbiker

    I want to add my heartfelt thanks to @bulkbiker too.

    3 years (nearly)

    Always a relief when the hba1c stays where you want it but especially so after a somewhat challenging few months which included a holiday to America (bet that was awesome) and Christmas (top of the challenging times of the year leaderboard!). Now that's all behind you I'm sure your next goal re...

    Newly diagnosed

    I was told the exact same thing. My diabetic nurse said testing wasn't necessary. A blood test (hba1c) would confirm if I needed more medication. I was prescribed metformin but declined. I joined this forum and it became immediately clear just how beneficial testing was. We are all individual...
