Had my annual check today and my hba1c is down to 35 from 38 last year!! However she asked me not to let it go any lower due to the risk of hypos!!
I used to when I was younger and non diabetic depending on what I had for breakfast or if I hadn’t eaten for a while but very rarely now.Well done , do you hypo ?
Thanks - not sure how I managed it though because within that 3 month period I’dNice work Agent @Daphne917 , keep up with what ever you're doing.

Don’t mind at all especially as it may give newly diagnosed T2s encouragement to know that it can be controlled through diet.Great effort @Daphne917 and a great way to enter the holiday season, knowing that occasional excursions "off piste" don't wreck your overall effort.
If you don't mind, I'll sneak my own success into your thread here... I just got my results (and also had an extended foodie break round Spain recently). I was delighted with a score of 37.
Currently celebrating with a single square of dark chocolate!
Forgot to say ‘well done’! It’s good to know all our hard work pays off and we may be able to relax a little on Christmas Day.Great effort @Daphne917 and a great way to enter the holiday season, knowing that occasional excursions "off piste" don't wreck your overall effort.

Nope.Thanks.
Had the discussion with the GP today who is v happy with 37. He didn't ask how I'm doing, but he did a cholesterol test...
(I'll report back to see if that has changed from the last one).
Well done you - mine was 5.2 but trigs 2.7 however, in my defence, it wasn’t a fasting one as I’d only gone in for my flu jab but when she noticed that my diabetic check was due she suggested taking my blood there and then which I thought was a good idea. It wasn’t until I was on my way home that I realised the cholesterol result would be skewed as I’d had a cheese omelette followed by FFat Greek yoghurt and raspberries for lunch and my appt was 14.30 - oops!!Nope.
4.9 TC.
WooHoo!! Go Lowcarbing!!
I'm confused. My DN told me not to fast for the HbA1c, but it seems you fast for the cholesterol test. They usually do both at the same time, (but forgot).Well done you - mine was 5.2 but trigs 2.7 however, in my defence, it wasn’t a fasting one as I’d only gone in for my flu jab but when she noticed that my diabetic check was due she suggested taking my blood there and then which I thought was a good idea.

I don’t need to fast for my blood tests but I find that my cholesterol figs are better if I have the blood test in the morning and not have anything to eat beforehand.I'm confused.

Making it up as they go along...mutter mutter...
