[QUOTE="melliemars, post: 1240266, member: 322755"] Thank you so much for the replies, Heretic! Funnily enough, I actually eventually bit the bullet (hope it doesn't raise my bs ;p) and started testing and I actually enjoy it now!! It was a relief. After starting off on a 10.4 reading 5 weeks ago on my A1c, I'm steadily in the 6s sometimes hitting 5s (FBG was 5.8 today). Lost over 2 stones and still working hard. I ******** my foot so I cannot work out but doing sitting down exercises best I can. Still on 4x500mg Metformin :( But it's early days. I hope to be off them and fit and healthy within 2 years (I have a lot of weight to lose so need that time).Might test a cheeky banana at some point. I still freak out and am obsessed with getting diabetic retinopathy, though. I have double vision in one eye and worrying myself to death waiting for the referral but it's just something I'm going to have to sit with I guess. Thank you again for the ace reply! [/QUOTE]
