Hi Safi

He's unhappy as he thinks 38 is far enough and thinks I've been punishing / pushing myself to the point that I have to stop. He is FAR happier for me to be in the low 40s and is just a tad wary that I could hypo if I kept at this too hard. I have no intention of doing any more to drop them as my massive run of 4 readings are sufficient for me. If he knew I'd dropped metformin, he'd be even more concerned given they're supposed to drop your BS beyond what a diet might do.

I know of someone here that dropped to 34 ...... that for me would be an absolute "no go" zone. I proved a point to myself that I could do it .... and I did. If I was challenged again, I could do it again. But time for me to relax a bit and this doc of mine is a diabetic expert.

I'm almost totally single minded and I should not be. I don't want this condition to control my entire life and and I won't let it. It would have consumed me if I had not found this place.
