44 (6.2) I'm delighted was 45 (6.3) 3 months ago and 118 when diagnosed in August.

Don't think my diabetes nurses are quite as impressed as they have concerns over my hypo awareness

Sorry to hear that. At least you are in the right place for help and support.

Definitely. Trying hard now to get in order, thank you

NO need to be sorry about it, recognise you want to change and work out how to do it.

Plenty of people here willing to help.

Just had my first test after being dianosed T1 on April 6th 2014, gone from 12% to 7.4% today. Somthing good for a change!

14% at diagnoses. 4 weeks later had managed to lower it to 9%

Aiming for 6.5% at next checkup in November

Alex and Adamski , great moves !

My test has been moved back to Thursday. I'm crossing my fingers.

63. First one. Bit high apparently but it gives something to work on.

I'm hoping it'll be lower than that last one (11.7%) at next check- the last was before restarting on the pump and a low carb diet again, but I'm not expecting miracles. The first time I started on a pump and low carb diet, I dropped from over 14% to 7% in just 6 months and it all went so smoothly! This time, first few weeks were great and now I'm finding I have tonnes of hypos and random unexpected highs and there is no logic or pattern to any of it! Grr!

8.0% (64) down from 9.7% (83) on 3rd March. I am very pleased. The DSN was amazed with the improvement, and particularly with the improved average blood sugar (down from 10 to 6) and its standard deviation (1.8 now versus 4.8 then) which shows very good stability. I've had 8.0% Hba1c before a few years ago, but that was with poor stability - lots of highs and lows.

Interestingly she had no problem with low carb being part of my arsenal (along with the pump and CGM) and she said just keep on doing what you are doing. She was really impressed by the results.
