[QUOTE="Pipp, post: 1281573, member: 100904"] Hurrah! HbAc result back down to 41! A lot of effort for a drop of 2 points, but it is encouraging. I have lost two more kgs making that 10 kg since I started, so half of the target I set before I reassess. I have been exercising more. In the swimming pool, as other health conditions make it difficult to get around. Also been to a gym session for people with mobility difficulty, and aim to keep that going. Would love to be able to go hill walking for miles and miles like I did in my youth, but that won't be possible, so no use hankering after it. I have managed to get out in the countryside for fresh air and short walks. That really is invigourating. Glad to be alive. I have, in the main, stayed low carb, eating in an eight hour window. I did have a bit of a celebration and a few beers and glass of rum a few weeks ago, and a glass of red wine on holiday a couple of weeks ago. Half a glass really, as I managed to chuck a fair bit of it over myself. Putting that behind me now, as I push forward to achieve the extra 10kg loss I set myself. No booze. Very happy that the HbA1c has dropped(just) under pre-diabetic level. Have to see it drop further to give a good safety buffer. I did take the advised Metformin once a day, but am stopping that from today. My blood pressure remains too high, but GP agreed to hold off increasing medication and will review with next HbA1c in January. I also have high potassium levels, which doc thinks could be contributing to the high BP. Going to read up on foods to avoid, and stop taking multivitamin. Doc was very keen that I should long term follow the programme devised by our own, [USER=74036]@Southport GP[/USER] I was so glad she had heard of his work, and agrees to inform her patients of the method of BG control. It certainly beats meds. I have been seeing BG levels between 5.5 and 7.5. The 7.5 has been 1hour post prandial. First test in morning is in 6s. I am hoping that the higher HbA1c last time is a one off. It certainly shook me out of the complacency it is so easy to fall into. Of course, some things cannot be helped, such as getting older, and some of my other disabling conditions, but what I can control, I most certainly intend to give my best efforts. [/QUOTE]
