Hba1c is down to 5.9% (41 in "new money") *Happy Dance* as I am now not able to regularly test.

Sorry if this sounds pedantic, but shouldn't the 2 "defatizing" threads be moved to the Weight Loss section?

My Dr. has now cancelled my prescription for testing strips. 20 minutes of discussions but she was not going to budge. I guess I've had it good whilst it lasted. Kind of scares me though that I won't be able to test. :cry:

I usually take my prescriptions to my local dispensing chemist, however this past weekend I thought that because I had several errands to run in town, I would just drop my script into Boots, then pick it up again when I was doing with my errands. Think again. I went back to Boots and when the...

So I had an 'in depth' visit today with my Dr and the D-Nurse in my practice, and I have to admit that I left feeling more than a little bit smug. New stats (Dec 09 stats in brackets) HBA1C: 6.1 (8.7) Total Cholesterol 3.9 (6.4) LDL: 1.6 (3.1) BP: 110/70 (135/85) Weight lost: 3st 6lbs...

I have drastically reduced my carbs, only for the past four days (everyone has to start somewhere right?), and both my last test last night and my first test this morning were 6.6!!! :shock: I have NEVER had a sub 7 reading since being diagnosed.....and my am reading has never been below...

I cannot, for the life of me seem to get my BG down below the 12mmol-ish level anymore! I was diagnosed T2 last March and currently take 1 x 500mg Metformin am and 2 x 500mg in the evening. Unfortunately I also take a couple other medications for Rheumatoid Arthritis, but these haven't...

Hi all My legs have swollen quite dramatically over the past couple of days and I'm obviously retaining fluids, which is something I have never been troubled with before. I'm T2 taking 1500mg Metformin daily, and trying valiantly to alter my diet permanently; however my BG isn't at all stable...
