Hello everyone and Happy New Year!!
I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and enjoyed the celebrations
I have yet more good news to share, if nobody minds me being a bit smug...?
The doctor I'm under at diabetes center at the hospital set me a HbA1c target of 53 for this Friday (which is my first pre-pregnancy clinic appointment) and I was hoping that I would achieve that, if not perhaps a teeny bit lower.
I was honestly expecting to get a 50 at best.
My GP phoned me earlier out of the blue and said "I just wanted to congratulate you on your amazingly fantastic blood glucose control". I had no idea she had gotten my lasted HbA1c result back yet as I'd only had it done the day after Boxing Day but that was why she was calling me.
I am now the (very proud and slightly smug) owner of a HbA1c that is just under the normal range and I am happily sitting at 44 (6.2%)!!!!!!!!!!!!
I nearly cried, I was NOT expecting that at all and it still hasn't sunk in yet.
She's taken me off of Glimepiride effective immediately because I've also been suffering some pretty bad hypo attacks and on Friday I find out if I can stop Victoza and try controlling my diabetes with diet and Metformin alone
There is a small chance I may need insulin, but I'm prepared for that and if it means that I'll be safer during pregnancy (as I am now totally clear to start trying) then I'm happy to do it.
I feel like telling everyone, even people I don't know :lol:
