[QUOTE="Higaomo, post: 2480433, member: 549737"] Congratulations! Very well done! My recent 3 month retest gave a result of 34 (from 94 at diagnosis in Oct 21), so it certainly is possible to drop so much so quickly :) After discussion with my nurse we’ve decided to try reducing my metformin to 2 x 500 a day (from 2 x 1000), keep checking my BG every morning to make sure it isn’t creeping up and retest HbA1c in 8 weeks. She also suggested that I can be slightly less restricted with my diet, as I was eating a strict low carb diet, but to be cautious, no point in going mad and undoing it again! [/QUOTE]
