[QUOTE="TooManyCrisps, post: 1464111, member: 244689"] Well done for reducing your bs levels. I was diagnosed last year with an HBA1C of 97 but chose not to take meds. I got mine down to 49 within 3 months and down to 37 by the end of the year. Not sure if I can get any further! I think you're right about retirement and lower stress levels. I work full time (I'm only 50) and I know when I'm stressed about work my levels shoot up. Plus my bs is always high in the morning and lots of people on here recommend going for a brisk walk after breakfast. Which is all very well except that I have to leave the house at 7.15am to commute to work so fitting in a walk, shower and change into work clothes would be a challenge! I'm sure you'll come off meds soon. I don't know much about Metformin, does it have to be reduced gradually? I'm wondering if there's a reason you haven't been taken off already given your good HbA1c result. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
