Have just returned from my 3 monthly meeting with the DN. HbA1c down from 7.9 to 6.9, but cholesterol up from 4.7 to 5.5,lost half a stone, not good I know, but I'm not choosing a coffin JUST yet :x . However I have just been told that the DN would prefer me to have a higher HbA1c and a lower cholesterol count. The fault is apparently because as a result of testing I have, in her opinion, become obssessed with my BS figures! I wasn't too happy about the figures, but when it was suggested that I should have no more strips, I put up an argument as to the elimination of foods that make me spike. I produced a food diary which I have kept religiously, and pointed out that tomatoes , on 4 separate occasions, caused a really high spike. This earned the comment "See what I mean about testing, how can tomatoes make you spike, they don't have any carbs" Am I going mad, can I be wrong about tomatoes, [which I know are fruit not veg as she thinks] anyone got any comments or shall I just head for Rob's Hobnobs? [dark chocolate type] :twisted: By the way I am gto continue getting strips :wink:
