Just had the results of the first three-monthly blood tests: "hbA1c 44 (down from 58), blood glucose slightly raised, everything else normal." Wooo!! Mind you, I had to ask for the hbA1c figure as the first thing the caller said was "it says no further action required". Um, well, I think there is still action required because the A1c is at pre-diabetes level, but a HUGE thank you to all who welcomed me and answered daft questions regarding LCHF etc, and for everyone's brilliant general posts, support, advice and information. I was left to my own devices after diagnosis, with no support (apart from one non-diabetic friend who is doing LCHF for weight loss) until I found this Forum and all the wonderful members. I know that I will always have T2 but can hopefully relax a little bit more over Christmas than I was planning to!
 
Brilliant result, it’s good here isn’t it?!
 

Congratulations!

What are your readings for fasting/before breakfast bg levels?
 
Thank you, ALL for your congratulations and kind remarks. @New2T1D - I don't test, but was prepared to do so if results weren't good. I'm off to a relative's house that has no broadband and a poor mobile signal (a digital detox, then.... Aaarrgh!!) so before I forget, I wish every member of the Forum a truly wonderful Christmas blessed with laughter, friendship and love, and the odd treat!
 
Have a great break and well done you !
 
Well done and much sympathy for the lack of support from your doctor. I live in the north west and am pre-diabetic. I am just about to start a course, which has 18 sessions over 9 months, to try and put me right. I know we will be weighed and our hbA1c tested. The rest I think is advice. At least our doctors are trying. I will let you know how useful it is, later.
 
Thank you @Maggyanne1950 - please do let us know how you get on with the course, and the best of luck to you.
