My GP and nurse asked me last week how I'd massively dropped HBA1C from in the 80's to my latest one at 41 last week. Told them I had reduced my carbs and low carbing. They were both very impressed and supportive Well done on your progress I too am unable to tolerate any type of metformin so...

Thank you for your advice @Hellrazor I currently walk the 30 minute journey to and from work, and unable to add any more as when I arrive home i'm exhausted and find it difficult with my angina. I currently 2ork in a nursery class within a school, so I am also active m7st of the day, playing...

Have to agree @chalup I was struggling for years and finally first low hba1c and stop meds if i'd had good control for a couple of results or consistently low for a number of hba1c tests then I would have felt differently about stopping medication. @Enclave I haven't been actively low carbing...

I had a great hba1c back at the beginning of July, with it being the lowest ever at 41. To give you an idea my two before that was 72 back in Jan and 95 in April. Because my results were so good, my doctor took me off my gliclazide and stopped my testing strips. I haave been self funding...

Can anyone recommend a reliable testing meter with in expensive strips. My doctor took mine off prescription a few weeks ago as things were going well and my HbA1c was down from 90 to 41 within 3 months. I feel this was due to me testing along with low carbing and I feel that I still need to...

Just had an appointment with my gp and he has stopped my gliclazide as my last hba1c was 41 don't understand as that result proves it was working he has also told me that he has also removed the test strips off repeat as don't need them and can't afford to continue to buy them each month. Why...
