Well I went to see the practice nurse for feet test, and I got the printout for my blood test from the receptionist.
My HbA1c is 39. My fbg readings over the last 3 months have averaged about 6.3-6.4 which indicated I should get an HbA1c of around 38.
I know the Accu Chek Mobile meter I use tends to give lower readings than others but it seems to have come quite close.
Anyway the nurse said they don't use the term 'reversed' but she would regard me as no longer diabetic, as long as I continued whatever I had been doing. She said I was their star patient.
I didn't say I had been following an LCHF approach to controlling my condition, just that I had made an effort to lose weight by diet and exercise.
My cholesterol level was higher than it should be at 6.1, but a large part of that was due to 'good' HDL level of 1.6 which she said balanced out the overall reading a bit. I'll have to see the GP to discuss results and whether I should go back on statins.
Anyway I'm happy with the result and I thank everyone on the forum for all the advice and support over the last year!
