Yesterday's breakfast: white coffee
Lunch: Costa Coffee gingerbread latte - yum!
Dinner: Lamb roast with potatoes, and a slice of cheesecake for dessert.

Saw my Diabetes nurse this morning to follow up on my blood test results from last week. Because my HbA1c was 65, she is putting me on Metformin once a day for 3 months initially, then review. My target HbA1c is 41, and when I reach that I can come off Metformin.
