So that's how it started on the 9th of Jan an off the cuff comment by the Dr towards the end of my appointment to discuss my really low vitamin d levels..... it kind of did not sink in to be honest, no advise given other than I will be referred to Desmond. and take 2 of these metformin pills a day, so I don't know what my level was at or anything....
So when i got home and the shock wore off a little I started to read as much as I could on the internet and this fantastic forum, I got a Meter from Amazon and cut carbs and sugar totally... I have lost just over a stone in weight since that day in the doctors and I feel better than I have in a few years, to be honest.
I had a private blood test from Thriva done this week and my HbA1c is 64.49 but I don't know until I go back to the Dr on the 5th what I started with.
at the moment I'm testing my blood before and 2h after each meal and at the moment I'm between 5 and 7 normally but no idea if that's where I should be or ? I Guess Desmond will update me on that but i've not had a date or anything yet.
so onwards and upwards as they say !!
