Hi all, wanted to update you all as I have finally spoken to my doctor about my results of the second hac. To refresh, I was put on Gliclozide early May when my hba1c was 96 :O and was given 6-8 weeks to bring my hba1c level down otherwise i was looking at insulin.

Worked hard at the gym and low car bing and stressing about the Gliclozide not working etc and generally being a pain searching for knowledge to help!!

Had my latest test on Monday and they've come back at 61 (7.7%) and the doctor has said she's very pleased. She has booked me in for another in 8 weeks to see if we can get it even lower. If not, then I will go on the one that inhibits the part where the kidneys put the sugar back into the blood!!

A year ago, it was all spiralling out of control and I knew it, all I needed was a little support :( the docs kept throwing me pills and even anti depressants :/ however a change of surgery and I cannot thank my current doc enough! !

I have never had such an encouraging conversation with a doctor before!!

Sorry I've rambled on a bit I'm just a teeny bit motivated / happy / want to shout from the rooftops except no one understands the number apart from you guys haha

Wonderful news, and it sounds like you have found a good, sensible doctor, hang on to them they are few and far between.
 
That's great news. My results this week were very similar to yours. Well done us, eh?
 
I have to say mine's down to finding this forum, though my DN did prescribe me test strips and tell me to buy the Carbs and Cals book - no other real advice though.
 
Well done Jaxx. It's good to hear positive feedback on the forum. keep it up !:)
