[QUOTE="blothom, post: 431833, member: 72293"] Hi Hanadr, My bgs are a bit variable at the moment, (still in hospital, toe is struggling) but when I had the first toe amputated, my HbAic was 135 :shock: then 2 months later, after starting insulin, I had brought it down to 72, and now, as of last week, it is 48! :clap: and my bg averages normally at 6 -7, which is where I aim to keep it, as I drive, and need my licence to get to work, living in rural NE Scotland. The docs have varied my meds considerably to allow for painful neuropathy and the heart condition, but today, for the first time, it looked as though the toe was responding! It is a little shorter than it was, as I have lost the very tip of it (the rounded part above the nail) so it is a flat top but I can live with that! Everyone has been so supportive on this forum, I cannot tell you all how uplifting it has been, and I will continue to keep you all posted. It is only by sharing our experiences that we can all learn. Thanks again, and much love, Pat (Blothom) xxx :thumbup: [/QUOTE]
