Thank you all for your very kind comments, if my post has any way helped anyone newly diagnosed then it's good to know the inspiration I gained has been passed on.
It's been an interesting experience for me as a nurse seeing the process from a patients viewpoint, I am trying to tactically educate my diabetic nurse, especially after she believed my raised morning numbers could only be caused by me drinking sweet drinks at bedtime, even after I insisted I wasn't eating or drinking after 7pm!
I guess the next steps for me are not becoming complacent, carrying on with the changes I've made and possibly becoming slightly less obsessive with testing. Fortunately my GP is fairly compliant so I've requested another HBA1c before Christmas just to check on things.

Having that a1c before Christmas will help you keep focused. Good planning.

Many havent and those who have were told it was a phenomenon. (An unsupported truth). Unexplainable theory.
Not to the liver and to all sufferers due to higher bgs because of it, eh?
