Steady Progress?

[Malc.]

Hi again,
It's just about a year since I was diagnosed (type 2) and on Friday, last week I had a 'review'. She did the usual checks, weight (9 and a half stone), blood pressure,(140/80),pointed stick on soles of feet, (O.K.)...
Checked my most recent HbA1c (6.6)...
I needed to remind her that although I was prescribed Metformin, they are still in the box, untouched.

She has now put me on 1x20gm Simvastatin due to my cholesterol levels.
Because of this, I will need another blood test in about 7/8 weeks, apparently ...

Although I'm currently getting testing strips on prescription, she hinted that I may not get them in the future...

The fasting tests last week on the two days prior to my review were, 5.5 & 5.2
I only test occasionally, not every day...
My first Bg test following my review was yesterday afternoon (Monday) just after 3pm, (2 hours after lunch) the result, 5.3

I don't wish to appear complacent, but can I assume that my 'diet-only' approach is holding steady, at the moment?...

Regards, Malc.

P.S. Happy Valentines Day to all you ladies out there! :wave:

Looks like you're holding steady as you say Malc! So well done. Personally, I might try to tweak the diet or exercise just a bit to aim for that 6.0
Well done again

Sounds good to me! I'm trying to use diet and exercise, so stories like this are very heartening. I wonder if diet could solve the cholesterol too?
