HbA1c

Well done!
 
Well done particularly as that would have included Christmas. I had my blood taken today so on tender hooks for the results.
 
Quality!
 
Good effort.....mines due but I'm giving it another month as I have a sneaking suspicion all the crimbo booze will have pushed up my triglycerides.

But DN didn't do full panel so in the dark on anything else though uric acid was normal so not got gout.

@JohnEGreen, congratulations

I don't mean to sound like a pessimist or a party popper... But it's important to remember that diabetes is only ever reversed by the correctly adapted diet, exercise and/or diet and exercise - permanently...

Personally speaking (in my own mind set) there is no reversal - simply, well controlled diabetes.

Please do not think that I'm raining on your parade @JohnEGreen, but I'm under the impression that a reversal of T2D means that one can revert to an NHS endorsed. grossly high carbohydrate based diet without BG spikes, etc...

I think what you have is extremely well controlled T2. And you should be very proud at that But always remember that if you forget your diabetes history that you will no doubt end up with a higher HbA1c.

39 by the way, absolutely fantastic result
 
Thanks all.

@GrantGam1337 I agree that we are probably never truly free of diabetes so my aim is to maintain the level of control I have as long as is possible.

Not withstanding that 7 pm yesterday small battered cod,chips,mushy peas and curry sauce 10 pm BG = 4.4

not bad

If I was to hurt my thumb when hammering in nails, I'd consider it fixed if it stopped hurting and it was working normally again - I would not hit it again just to see if it mended again.
I might even use more screws.

I have in the past cut my self with a screw driver.
never intentionally however.

If I hit myself with a hammer I know it;s going to hurt every time the only way to find out if I can now tolerate more carbs is to try it and test.

Not an experiment I intend to rerun though, because I can tolerate more carbs now doesn't mean I want to I prefer to stay healthy, well as healthy as is possible anyway.
