[QUOTE="Dusty911, post: 1686135, member: 450440"] Just came back from doctors with new hba1c result taken Jan 12th. Diagnosed early September with hba1c of 95 now it's down to 49. A good drop but I was hoping for more. Why the need to vent . Told now that my blood sugars were stable thanks to doctors medication ( obviously the drop is all to do with the metformin not my Herculean attempt at diet control) I don't need any more blood tests for at least 6 months. Also as the cut off point for diabetes is 48 was told I'm not really of concern any more ( not best pleased when I told him I knew that 42 to 48 was at least prediabetic and still cause for concern) I suppose I was stupid to expect more and do I really need a pat on the back and support to get it down further from him .... no I've had the only support worth having from this forum. Anyhow l've been off loaded onto the diabetic nurses for my sins so judging from all your accounts I've got more jolly high jinks to look forward to. Ok vent over (managed not to swear once so saving moderator redaction) well done me. Willl continue to self test, low carb and lose weight. Here's hoping next ones in the thirties :) [/QUOTE]
