I've just had my latest blood test & HbA1c results, and as my meter predicted. I'm suffering a slight case of going backwards from my all time low of 38 last summer back up to 44.
My only excuse is that I'm doing battle with arthritis and oedema which are causing me more pain and aggravation than my diabetes ever has, and this together with a little bit of sorry-for-myself-comfort-eating means my glucose levels are joining in and playing bouncy bouncy as a result.
One consolation though is that we've had a big staff turnover at the surgery and my recent dozy DN has now happily been replaced by a new nurse who appears to be au fait and OK with low carb diets and thinks my result is fine.
