I have been to my doctors this morning to receive my fasting blood test results and to review my medication, although he says I have done really well.... First reading 16.1 - today 10.5 fasting test result. HbA1C was 123 and today is 70.
Now I know the readings are still very high, so my Metformin has been doubled to 100mg each morning and evening and I hope that this will bring my blood sugar levels down by around half.
I brought my own meter and the doctor is reluctant to talk about this with me, but this has taught me so far that all Wheat based products are not good for me. I am trying the Soya and Linseed loaf currently to see if that is OK as I am really beginning to miss a little bit of bread now and then.
For any of you out there that have a sweet tooth I can tell you that Aldi's do really lovely sugar free boiled sweets - well worth a try, Sainsburys sell lovely sugar free marshmallows and if any of you know of any good sugar free chocolate please let me know, I don't eat chocolate very often maybe once every two months but really missing it right now.
Thank you to all of you it really is good to know there is somewhere to ask a question or even just to give an update.
