I am so glad I joined as I have had fantastic advice and hope that continues. I had a blood test late May and my Hba1c was 75. Had another test 4 weeks later (but only 3 1/2 weeks after I got my results and started my low sugar diet) and it was 69. I decided to start Metformin but it really wasn't suiting me so reduced in August and stopped a few weeks ago. I have also been keeping an eye on carbs and following advice on here. I had my 3 month test last week and it was 47. I am so happy to be going in the right direction. I have also lost 10.5 kg since May (a bit more since this time last year, another 4 or 5 kg). Still work to go but I am thrilled and got a well done from the doctor in my notes lol. I'm not sure my point but I just felt I had to post something.
