According to my consultant 2018

[Lamont D]

Having spoken to my specialist endocrinologist today and also to my recent blood panel from my annual diabetic review. I have been discharged from his clinic.

After six years since my referral, he is totally convinced that there is no reason whatsoever to have my six monthly appointments.

If in future, I need to be again referred, he will gladly oblige.

Don't know if I'm happy or not! (I am, but gonna miss our conversations!)
He saved my life and has been there for me.

That’s amazing, but must be strange too. A testimony to your commitment to find a way through it all, gives me hope.
Thanks for your input Lamont, take it you won’t leave the forum though!!?

Congratulations!
Haven’t had the diagnosis for long, but I know the mixed feelings. Even though you do great managing yourself, it’s nice to know someone else is also keeping track and watching out for problems. This is especially true since the metabolic basis for the reactive hypoglycemia has not gone away, you have just found a way to control it. It’s almost as if the doctor has said you no longer have a problem. Definitely mixed feelings.

Is this how our children feel the first day they are sent off to school on their own? Proud to be on their own, but a bit scared too.

Nah!

If I can do it, it should be achievable, it is making sense of what happens when we eat and admitting we are a bit weird, how our body works.

If you think about it.
We have to eat different to every one else, even so called healthy foods, against the experts advice and that is the only way we can be healthy.
As I said weird!

Couldn't have put it better myself.
I think knowing that the problem is always waiting in the background and if I'm not resolute in how I control my lifestyle, it will cause the problems I used to have, and that is not good!
I ain't going back there!
