I've been to have my second lot of bloods taken today and then went to see the Diabetic Nurse for the results.
My Hba1c was 45 on May 16th and it has dropped to 27 on December 16th.
Cholesterol was 5.1 on the same date and is now 4.2.
My bad cholesterol, (sorry not sure what that was as she didn't say the name), has gone from 3 to 2.2.
I've been taken off the Gliclazide altogether and I'm having a two week trial without the Linagliptin too. I've been given some test strips and lancets as they want me to test my blood twice a day before two meals and record it to see how I go without any medication. The nurse did say that a normal Hba1c is in the thirties so mine is slightly lower. I did tell her what I've been doing though and how sugar has been cut out of my diet literally altogether so, fingers crossed, it's 27 because of that reason. I go back in two weeks for a review and I also have an appointment to see the doctor too. I really hope this is all good news, I'm just hesitant to be fully excited about it. The nurse said they do see readings like this sometimes but what makes it unusual is how much weight I've lost. I've done it sensibly though, (working out at 2 to 3 Ib a week), and just used plain old fashioned discipline. I plan on a few treats over Christmas so I'm hoping they don't affect my readings that I'll record and I'm meaning just a slice of Christmas cake occasionally and a pudding on the day. I don't want to upset my regime of losing the weight, I'm enjoying feeling like this too much to do that.
