Welcome and cracking name might I add.
Similar story and numbers from me too. Doncha just love this way of life? I've got my next HbA1c next week but a year ago it was 5.0 I also had trigs of 0.6 Smug? Of course, and I bet you are too :wink:
I regard any BS of mine at a level of 7 or above with horror. My lovely dad has been dying for the past 30 years of T2. He's now 88 and slowly rotting away. You name the complication, he's got it and all because he has followed, to the letter, the advice of the various consultants and diabetes nurses he has had over the years. At one time, he had an HbA1c of 15. Doesn't seem possible, does it.
They have now washed their hands of him because they think he is completely non-compliant. He is an intelligent and articulate man but simply does not understand the concept of carbohydrate restriction or ratios because, in 30 years, not one HCP has explained this to him.
I remember, as a teenager in the 70's, him dealing with frozen shoulders and later, finger contractures and then a heart attack that he survived only because he was with one of Austria's leading cardiologists, sharing a fag. Dad had stepped out of a large conference because he had 'indigestion'.
Long may you, and I, stay in control!!
