You have all been so supportive over the last few months I hope you don't mind if I share my 3 month review with you all.

I'm really quite pleased with that!!
Daily readings have dropped from around 30 to between 8 and 11
Still got a long way to go to achieve the below 7s I'm looking for, but have had a couple of 6s and one 5.6 fasting readings so far.
I was on Metformin x 4 daily, but had to reduce dosage due to the well known side effects! They are thinking about changing me to slow release ... which could just tip me down to a better reading.
Another plus ... my cholesterol/lipids readings are the best I've had in over 15 years and after over 20 years of high blood pressure they are a little concerned that it's verging on being a "bit too low ... you don't get a bit dizzy or light headed do you when you stand up?" so may have that medication reduced at next review.
Again, thank you all for your support. I am still not as good as I should be, but when I think about it I realise I've made more changes than I think.
Take care guys,
Bee Gee
