diabetes :P having to eat food in moderation
So I've just got back in from seeing the diabetic nurse and she tested my hba1c and it came back at 5.6 to say I'm happy about that is a understatement after my last 1 was 7.1 although that was after been diagnosed.

Diabetic nurse also said that she was going to speak to the consultant about my diabetes,with gad coming back negative a few months back,maybe I'm type 2 and I'm my good control is down to my diet and exercise, 4/5 mile s every morning and weights everyday,abit much maybe but I'm set in my ways abit of ocd maybe :) she said she was going to investigate into seeing weather I'm diabetic or not,I was rushed into hospital on diagnosis with DKA so I'm sure I'm diabetic its just figuring what type she explained.

maybe just a case of waiting till my pancreas fully gives,at the moment is obviously producing enough insulin to cover my....for now ;)
 
well done!
Just a thought, perhaps it could be MODY, as opposed to T2! Getting a genetic check could give an answer.
 
Well done, I do my first hba1c after diagnosis just before Christmas so hoping for some improvement although I only exercise every other day and rely more on diet control.

Interestingly I have had the same good control and when I pushed my DNS to discuss this (she is non commital whilst I am in diagnosis limbo) she reluctantly said it is more typical of someone on their honeymoon to have great control so quickly and so easily. I am almost tempted to test this by going back to my old eating ways for a weekend to see what happens but will probably just keep on waiting for signs of the honeymoon ending instead.
