Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="chrisjohnh" data-source="post: 2572621" data-attributes="member: 538614"><p>My HbA1c on diagnosis was even higher than nsj’s, but oddly my GP did not even mention medication as an option. The totality of what he advised in a one-minute phone call was “lose weight - for each kilogram lost your HbA1c will fall by about 2 points”. And that was it. So I said “Righto” and there was no further interaction with the surgery. I computed that to get down to 42 on his formula I’d have to lose 15kg, so I lost that and then (4 months on) was tested again. I was incredulous when the result came back as - 42! Must have been coincidence unless the NHS has acquired crystal balls. Anyway nsj you are doing great, keep going.</p></blockquote><p></p>
