Low carbs and exercise have got my HbA1c down to 5% or 31 mmol/mol in 3 months. Doctor was pretty impressed and thought perhaps too much control! Down to one Metformin and test again in 3 months. Cholesterol much improved also and no need to for Statins. Three cheers for the forum!
One of the reasons my DN originally gave when trying to convince me not to test was that there is a quantity versus quality of life. It's OK having super low readings but not if you are miserable.Well done. How can you have too much control, what a silly statement!
What is it with these medical professionals? Why, on this earth, do they think that eating a jam donut or a slice of pizza would really make anyone happier than having their health, their eyesight, both their feet, possibly a trimmer figure than previously and the energy to enjoy it all?One of the reasons my DN originally gave when trying to convince me not to test was that there is a quantity versus quality of life.

It's because they tell porkies. She just didn't want to prescribe test strips. Also, after being in a chair for a month and finally recovering she prescribed a second statin saying, "No-one has ever had any trouble with these". They have now, another month in a chair.What is it with these medical professionals?

It's like the children in Mary Poppins said, "Watch her, she's tricky".
Thanks to all for the kind words and to the forum for providing knowledge and motivation - without you I'd be at "first base"!
I got my hba1c down from about 148+ to 41 in 3 months, with a similar diet to before being diagnosed. Am 17 and was diagnosed T1 5 months ago
