Hi carb Foods
Had my 3 monthly diabetic checkup at my local hospital this afternoon.
Result:
HbA1c very good at 6.0
looked at my blood sugar tests scince Aug 22 - averaged out at 6.0 - Good control
Stop taking gluclazide (was 40mg every am) - now diabetic drug free.
Not a bad reversal from 3x18units novorapid and 18units lantus when I was diagnosed April 2008
All its taken is a bit of low carb dietary changes.
 


That is very good news indeed for you ...well done!

Now the downside is that your once totally free prescriptions will now have to be paid for ... who ever made these stupid regulations has probably never had to face choosing what items take preference on the script form.
 
Update:
came off gliclazide - no change in diet / exercise, Blood sugars have risen to high 6.7-7.0 maintaining at this level (Mon pm) so going back on glic until can see medics again! Who would hae thought that 40 mg would have caused this bg rise!
 
You and I have both had a very good day then! I've just posted my good news too. Feels good doesn't it!

Griffy.
