So went to the docs after being diagnosed 3 weeks ago

[Peadair O Brionn]

Found out today that my blood test on diagnosis was 6.6 . I was put on Metformin 500gr once a day
Went back to see doc today to sort out a few things like everything I wasn’t told on diagnosis .
Told him I wanted to stop the Metformin and wanted to do low carb and exercise. He agreed took me of the Met ... Then gave me a AgaMatrix Wave sense Jazz meter and a prescription for 50 strips a month . Checked my feet said they were ok .
Referred me to a Desmond course .
Told me if I was to keep goin like I was I could go into remission. But obviously have to work at it each day .. . So pretty happy when I left . A lot happier than I was 3 weeks ago

Lucky you a GP that isn’t against low carbing (mine’s the same ), but a meter and strips too? Wow! Your GP is definitely a keeper!
Well done on your achievements so far. Keep it up.

Well done all sounds really good @Peadair O Brionn you’re doing great keep going with the low carb. Lucky you getting a testing kit - will be great to test out which food suits you the best. Good luck you’re on the right road.
