Message: <blockquote data-quote="Oldvatr" data-source="post: 1133004" data-attributes="member: 196898">Just had report back from DCN appointment I had last week.   HbA1c dropped from 53 to 44.  Weight static.  No major hypo's.  DCN recommends continued support for testing, and agrees with LCHF diet continuing at reduced carb input at 50g per day.  Warned me of increased risk of hypo due to Gliclazide, and agreed my plan to reduce dosage of this.  My new target requirement has been set at 53 again.  I did express a target wish of 36-38 but was advised that this is too low (?????)   this is not recorded in my notes but it is recorded  that my current level of 44 is considered too low as well.My daily average bgl from both my meters is currently 6.1 mmol/l which corresponds to a projected HbA1c of 36.7 so I am already at MY target.The letter to my GP officially discharges me from requiring any further specialist support, and I am back with my GP as primary care.EDIT to update.  My GP has responded to my letter, and has agreed all my suggestions, including my proposed target of 36.  He is continuing support for self monitoring, and has put me on annual reviews unless I lose the plot.</blockquote>
