[QUOTE="SirLance-alot, post: 2364294, member: 537817"] Thanks Mike. I have no idea what my HBA1C is/was, to be honest - it didn't occur to me to ask him, at the time - the number "80" seems to spring to mind, but I have no idea if I'm just making that up. Presumably I'm entitled to call them and ask ? All I know is that my blood glucose was coming out at between 26 and 28 mmol/L every time I measured it - and I have no reason to think this is "new" - ie, I reckon it had been like this for some little while. I know for a fact that my blood pressure has been elevated for at least 2 years, which (I imagine) goes hand in hand with high blood glucose ? Since embarking on keto, and metformin, it has certainly normalised - I test it twice daily and it's now averaging 112/70 (yes, I do also have a blood pressure monitor - bit of a gadget fan plus obsessive control freak ?! :-) ) [/QUOTE]
