[QUOTE="WaveyDavey123, post: 2620545, member: 574289"] Well another update. Finally saw the nurse today. It went really really well. She was very pleased to hear that I'd researched and changed my lifestyle in a positive way already, that I was monitoring my bg levels etc. Told me she wouldn't have put me on metformin with my HbA1c results anyway, would have tried diet only first in any case. I'm still referred for an eye test anyway as apparently they like to see anyone who's had A1c as high as mine. But I'm spared an official T2 diagnosis for now. Prediabetic only currently and the mission is to reverse even that. Another blood test booked for 3 months time. I've gone from 19 st 6 lb in March to 18 st 2 lb currenly (124 kg to 115 kg) - I was already losing weight but this has accelerated a lot. I have no intention of returning to old routines. The bg meter is your friend (even if my fingers sometimes don't agree). Excellenty! [/QUOTE]
