That was a pleasant surprise!

[LindsayJane]

Apparently, my blood/urine results from last week are available on line....

HbA1c down from 95 to 43!
Blood pressure also down from 150/60 (high) to 135/70 (pre-hypertension)
Kidney function - normal

Still got some way to go on cholesterol and a little more weight to lose but these results have made me feel quite proud of myself.

All praise to LCHF - and thank you to all you good exponents of its virtues without whom I would have still been eating spuds!

Edited to include a PS: and I have just received a Contour Next One blood glucose monitor in the post. I didn't order it. I already have a monitor - perhaps it was sent by the BG fairy?
Peace and lots of love to all x x x

Congrats, @LindsayJane. Really, really wonderful results. A job well done. I'm very, very happy for you.

Very well done! Keep up the good work!
DCUK sometimes post a free draw for the monitor on Facebook, maybe you clicked on one of those?

wait till you try to get strips for the next meter; double the price of other meters! Hence the "free" competition they ran.....

Result! Fabulous work there, very well done.

Don't think I did but anything is possible - anyway, I have a spare one now. I think I'll use all my test strips before I start on the new one! Thank you for your comments x

I'm happy with the meter I have and the cost of strips is not prohibitive, even for an OAP like me! It's a mystery as to where it came from....

I've just looked at the price on line - blood pressure back up!!! I think I'll stick with the one I have (half the price!).
