[QUOTE="Tron2112, post: 626817, member: 56201"] I was diagnosed in January 2013 with an HbA1c of 67. I read as much as I could, followed advice from this forum, went super cautious right away. Stopped eating cereal, most wheat products, pastries, and most sweets and gave up my beloved lager. In three months I had it down to 44 and three months after that down to 40 and told not to come back for another six months. Started this year with another 40, again, was told don't come back for another six months. Most recent result: 44. This is what doctors would still class as "normal". But although I was not happy to see the number increasing I was not surprised. I have been allowing treats and beer to creep back into my diet. Somehow I have gotten lax with control. Not testing as vigilantly. I even had a dream which I think represented my backward loss of control. I dreamt I was backing the car out of a parking space but my feet would not move to the brake as I was backing up. It was like they were paralysed. I could see where I needed to press but my foot would not go there. When I did press it HARD nothing happened. The car kept rolling backward. I woke before it bumped into the building that was behind me. A literal wake up call if I ever had one! Does anyone else get warning dreams when their numbers are increasing?
