Hba1c 38!
And my first meeting with a DN, a year after diagnosis.
Pleased with the former, not so much with the latter. As expected she wasn't interested in what I had done, just pleased I'd done it. She didn't do any foot or eyes checks, saying as my levels aren't diabetic there's no damage being done ( this ignored that in 2006 I was prediabetic but no one told me, or has mentioned it since).
She did say my cholesterol has gone up, and to see the gp for statins BUT thanks to the lovely people on here I know my ratios are good and I don't need them. I will wait and see if they contact me.
She did say I will get a retest in a year
Funnily enough I feel a bit deflated. Its nice to have the confirmation that low carbing works but I'd have liked more support to continue it forever.
Thank heaven for you lovely lot.
This forum has saved my life. Long may it continue
PS I have lost 3 stone since my heaviest, thats 23%. To try to keep on the right path I have a libre on order!
