Thanks to this forum & you great people, my latest HbA1c result was 38.
So from T2 diagnosis my figures have been 91, 43, 36, 38, 38, 41, 38.

My GP & DN are very happy, as am I. I was also on Metformin SR, 500mg x 2, one of the lucky folk to have never had side effects, so never really minded taking them. After this last result, GP has now taken me off Metformin for a 3 month trial. Which is good in one way, but...my FBG are now showing 7s, some 8s & even a 9. This is just in the last couple of weeks, the first 4 days after stopping were my norm, then the rise. My diet hasn't changed at all, so it seems the Metformin was doing some good. The next couple of months or so are going to be interesting to see if my body will level it out.

Again, thank you very much, as without you all, I wouldn't have taken on the low carb way of life & taken such good control.

Thank you, @coby!

That's what I'm hoping & not too long to wait to find out, with the way times passes.

Thank you, @0110! It has been low carb with Metformin. My numbers have been within a range of 5 - 6.6, with a few lower & higher, taken morning, before dinner & 2hrs after. Now, across them they are frightening, not had a 5 high or low, some 6s, but mainly 7s going up the scale.

Haven't been around for a while, but just to say, had my HbA1c result yesterday & it came out at 42, which I was surprised about, but also quite happy. My GP was happy & said keep doing what I'm doing & not to go back on the Metformin. At least, yes, it's there if ever I need to go back. Low carb is definitely the way to go though, so once again, my thanks to all of you.

ETA: Forgot to say, the last 5 days of testing, average has been 6.5, hoping this downward trend continues so my next HbA1c, in 6 months is back down under 40.
