[QUOTE="Caroline2688, post: 2406513, member: 410185"] So bloods taken and as predicted hba1c has gone back up! Was 78 then 58..and now after 34lb weight loss with waist measurement decreased by 22cm my hba1c has gone up to 70! So frustrating! The nurse who took bloods was the diabetic nurse and she was great, totally got where I was coming from and that low carb, exercise and weight loss was working but isn't any longer and will do me a referral should it be indicated on test results etc. Likely to have to go on to meds but it won't be gliclazide, she removed it from my script and couldn't understand why it had been prescribed! Metformin likely as she suspects insulin resistance. Although I also have PA and metformin reduces B12 so that could be tricky. Seeing her next week to formulate a plan and in the meantime I'm just hopeful that I can get out of double figures as I feel dreadful Thanks again for all the advice, much appreciated x [/QUOTE]
