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.

Ahem.

31 is a perfectly decent go-to zone. ;)

Caps lock?
If you're like me you can't look at the screen when typing so don't notice till to late. If you use Firefox you can download an addon called Lazarous which will instantly change the text to small big toggle it so the first letter is a capital and the rest lower case.
Brilliant tool for me.
Well done.
 
Super results. I'm just starting out, but your results are proof that dedication and hard work can get the better of this condition. Well done, sir!
