Morning all!
Got my latest HbA1c this morning, and it came in at 40/5.8%
Not been this low since I was pregnant with my son fifteen and a bit years ago...

Not achieved with loads of hypos, as the medics will suggest at my clinic appointment next week, but with a keto diet, Libre+MiaoMiao and my Omnipod pump.

My mean daily BG levels have been 6.2±1.3mmol, with a glucose variability index of 1.2

I’m very, VERY happy right now

That's wonderful! Libre is a game changer for sure, it allows us to stay much closer to 4 :)

Well done, that is fantastic!! I would never have believed it could be done without loads of hypo's pre libre. You are a great advert for both libre and keto! Im self funding my libre at the moment, not easy but small price for my health and still a little scared to go keto but slowly cutting my carbs, eating less than 50 a day so getting there!! Reading your posts keeps me heading in the right direction!!

Magnificant achievement, and doubly so considering your allergy situation.
Very impressive!

I’ve been lucky enough to have it funded, I believe Welsh CCGs are all prescribing it now. Still very much a lottery for my English and Scottish friends though.

You got the trifecta of CGM, pump and ultra low carb, very well done on pulling it off.
