Hi everyone,

So I've just had my results of my 6 month HBA1C check and it's 36!! I'm over the moon, started at diagnosis at 66 in Nov/20 and then 43 in Feb/21. I've been following a much lower carb diet (around 100 grams of carbs per day) and 1 500 mg metformin per day since diagnosis. Would I be correct in saying this is now at a non-diabetic level? I've arranged a call with my DN to discuss the results and if I should continue to take the metformin, but my GP surgery told me when I called there's no further action required. I would just like to thank everyone on this site for the advice, motivation and inspiration I've had, anyone diagnosed with diabetes should be directed here immediately in my humble opinion. Thanks again.

Maggie

@Maggie75 that's brilliant news, well done you! And yes, that’s a non-diabetic level. Congratulations.

Wow, well done Maggie! It's always a bit of a let down isn't it when your surgery says 'No further action required' in such an offhand, casual, what's the big deal manner, a computer saying 'Go away' after recording a number on a spread sheet, when what you want them to say is 'Wow, Maggie, you star, you are our patient of the year, come tell us how you did it' etc. Well Maggie, you ARE a star!!!!! xxx
