Hba1c down from 86 to 46 in 13 weeks and waiting for next blood test.

On a daily basis testing is usually between 5.3 and 6.5. Still on 1500mg of metformin a day.

Again waiting for a review to reduce further.
Weight loss/management is an important part of diabetes control, especially when you start at a point knocking on the door of morbidly obese.
Well done again, this is really good.

Hypos, rude people, ignorance and grey days.
Wow - what a transformation, well done @BigIain

How about any other health benefits you are feeling, like improved energy levels etc ?

Energy levels is a bit odd. Feeling more mobile with the weight loss. But work is a bit stressy. So the benefits are being neutralized!

great stuff @BigIain

I have kept one pair of trousers from my "former life".

I put them on every now and again, and they fall to the floor without touching anything. A stark reminder of what has changed !!!!
It’s surprising how quickly your body shape changes and the weight loss occurs isn’t it? I think the clothes trick is a great way for us to realise the changes, the mirror and or the scales don’t always do it for me but when something can no longer be worn it proves beyond all shadow of a doubt that you are not what you were.
