1st 3 month check, wish me luck!

Good luck. I used to dread the old HbA1c. Sleepless nights. Cold sweats. Deterioration meant I would be on insulin. Now that's happened and I'm finally on insulin, I'm not sure what I'm going to think about my next blood test in 3 months time.
 
DSN really pleased with my progress, she was very supportive of my not wanting to take the meds, the one I saw previously was quite negative about the low carb way so I felt somewhat smug to have lowered my hba1c to 47 (was 54 not 51 as I first thought) and cholesterol down to normal levels. I was asked when I wanted to go next time and I've opted for another check in 3 months, target hba1c 43 and another stone off. So happy!!!!
 
Well done! Shake up some champagne F1 style!
 
Great stuff, onwards and downwards.
 
Cheers everyone. Kizza, I considered it but didn't want to shell out any more money, prescriptions costing me £18 a month, £30 for exercise classes and testing strips every few weeks. Feel like I'm managing without for now.....
 
Very well done, and keep up the good work!
 
Downwards - a good direction for most of us! I always think that waiting for an HbA1c is like waiting for exam results i.e. has my hard work paid off? Good luck!
