I posted this as an update in the Success Stories and Testimonials forum, but some of it is worth pulling into here. I noticed my blood pressure and occasional finger prick readings were up a bit (as is my weight) so asked for a review test. HbA1c 41 (I really expected it to be higher)...

As I stopped testing when I was declared in remission last autumn I thought I might as well pay for a Libre and see how things stand now. At my favourite restaurant in Siena today, for the first time 4 years, they greeted me profusely like I'd not been away. I told Lella (the cook) I wanted a...

My blood test results from last week are in. I had to push the GP to get the tests done as the last ones were in June and they considered October too soon... I pointed out I've been very strict with myself dietwise and need to know it's working - plus I decided to stop the statins and halve the...

This is a fantastically useful and helpful place, thanks to you all. Picked up my blood test results today which look like a good start. HbA1c was 81 on the 9 March 2020 (the results were given on the 23 March when I was formally diagnosed T2 and started Metformin, etc). Then it was still 70...

(I posted this in the Type 2 forum but think it should have been here) Hello all, new person here (though reading from the shadows for a while). One of the things I've been a little unsettled by since T2 diagnosis in March (HbA1c of 81) was what to do about my long-term habit of making my own...
