Thank you! MySugr is flipping between 31.7 and 31.6 now so I think I may have reached my lowest now. Next lab test isn’t til August, so I’m hoping that my lab test will reflect the MySugr prediction.

I didn't know it at all and chose my new home village via internet research, of all things. I wanted to be somewhere with lots of walking opportunities, but also close to the Eurostar line as I have strong links to France (I was born there and still have lots of family and friends in the Paris area). I was glad to find upon arrival that I really like the place, and even gladder when my American wife turned out to love it too. A few days after arrival I climbed to the top of a nearby hill at dawn and took this photo. My new home is pretty much in the center of this photo, a couple of miles from where I was standing.

I have only been to Kent once, and only to drive through on the way to Dover for a ferry. My husband was born in Kent at the end of the war when his parents were working at Chatham docks. They moved back north when he was a baby so he remembers nothing.
That landscape is incredibly familiar. I think you may be living quite near me! Have to say being able to hop on a train to France or 10 minute drive to the tunnel is awesome. I love France!I didn't know it at all and chose my new home village via internet research, of all things.

Are those by any chance old gravel pits? Looks familiar to me too.

I'd be surprised if they did I was a t2d and registered 31 and they refused to code me non diabetic ... Going forward I only plan to improve health and they're determined to say otherwise ....

My HbA1c was 46 when my GP decided my diabetes was resolved. (under 48 being the cut off). Naturally I didn't agree with him. There are no national (or even global) guidelines on "when diabetes disappears". Each individual doctor makes his own judgement and codes accordingly. The general consensus among those that do trials on reversal use 48 as the cut off. Under that for a period of time, unmedicated, is classed as reversed. (Prof Taylor et al)
What I was actually meaning with @Grateful is that he will be a new member of the NHS system, and without his previous medical records from the US, he could be coded as non-diabetic.

It’s a good point. When I registered with my GP practice, even though I took in US records for me and my kids with dates/procedures etc, and even though I discussed things with a nurse at a new patient appointment, apparently the only thing that transferred for my children was vaccination dates, and for me was that I’d had a history of gestational diabetes.
Four years later, I’ve discovered it’s not actually on my records that I’m profoundly deaf...!

Kent is beautiful and accessable to other European countries and our southern coastal towns and the heart of England.. London. With the HS1 train service it gets enthusiasts around far quicker and with less changes for e.g York. Another beautiful City. Have you been to York?
Kent, like all counties has mixed health care and standard of professionals. At least access to King's and Guy's City hospitals, if extreme specialist care is needed. Accessable by frequent trains til late at night. Theatre visits and back same evening. Lovely quality lifestyle which keeps anyone active and interested.

Sandwich is beautiful. I used to go there quite a bit when my brothers were at boarding school there. Lovely quaint little place.

It seems another poster in the forum now lives there in one of the former married quarters. Small world isn't it.

They are not old gravel pits, to my knowledge. I could say more but it would identify precisely where I am and I suppose that is not forum etiquette.
Thank you so much for your kind comments everyone. For a while, I will probably only be an occasional forum contributor as we are still moving in and all sort of things (personal and business) still need to be sorted out! But we love it so far!

Finally ambled to my local NHS clinic and registered. Not sure whether I was ever registered with NHS before I left the country as a 22-year-old nearly 40 years ago, so I have now got a new NHS number. Soon afterwards, got a letter that enabled me to register for patientaccess.com.
Because of the Type 2 Diabetes I got an appointment for assessment on August 1st. I'll update this thread after that NHS appointment and blood test results.
(Tomorrow I'm off to USA for a week to attend the wedding of my eldest daughter....)

Irrespective of your T2, you should have been receiving an appointment when you registered with your new practise anyway. When my OH relocated, and registered with my bunch, he was most disgruntled he had to attend and go through the measuring up process.
Enjoy the wedding. I'm sure it'll be a happy, happy time.
