While I hotly denied it  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite10" alt=":oops:" title="Oops!    :oops:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":oops:" /> , I had the sense to go straight back on to the low-carb diet which had suited me so well for weight loss 4 years previously, and which I knew would lower my BG. This brought my blood glucose under control, and I am now frequently within the non-diabetic range. I eat low-carb for my BG, which has the welcome side-effect of weight loss, and am now comfortable with the diagnosis. I take Metformin as much to help with the weight loss as anything else. I've lost 4 stone so far, and have at least another 4 stone to go - but it will happen, and I'm not obsessing about it.Maybe I've grown up at last!  :shock:  :lol: Markd, your HbA1c figures are an inspiration!Viv  8)</blockquote>
