    Yes, I concluded that, but I'm not understanding the thread. Perhaps I should just wait and see how it develops.

    I do not like the assumption in the title that just because the op could do something, everyone can if they just try harder.

    Everyone is different.

    I’m confused too, the 26.8mmol is scarily high but grats on the weight loss

    Looks like that was a high bg about a year ago and I'm guessing a picture of a much better bg result or a nice hba1c was meant to be there as well :)

    I could easily get a 26.8 :)

    Well done on getting control back @Montrealer. Hoping to see a pic of a 5.4 or around that mark on your next post

    Yes well done on your progress so far @Montrealer
    I agree it's not easy and for some of us it's nigh on impossible but that doesn't take anything away from your own achievement.
    Keep posting. :)

    I’m within my norms .....again.......my point it’s easy to lose your focus and let it slip away........then having to start over.........but I’m on my way to drop 40 lbs which will go a long way in keeping and making it easy to maintaining my readings.......yes this was last April......
