Happy Day here,

I have just had the results of my HbA1c test and it is 44 down from 118 in March :wideyed: to be honest I have shocked myself lol and did say "F**k Me" very loudly in the Docs reception when she handed me the print out lol

Cholesterol is down by almost two points so we can stop having the regular and very boring statin conversations and my BP has normalised at 130/80. Weight is down by 13 kilos and waist has reduced by 24 cms.

Thanks to everyone who has been supportive and given great advice x

Ok lets get this reading into normal levels!

Absolutely brilliant and your shock response in the surgery made me laugh a lot :)

I love bacon sandwiches. Unfortunately, I love them nestled between two bad for me white bread toasts with mayonaise and I like to have two so that adds a killer 80-100 or so carbs to that bacon. Now I eat those rashers straight up with pepper

My favourite to wrap around the bacon is thickly sliced, fresh granary bread with lots of butter. The bread in the freezer is, I think, white with chia seeds.
Bacon with lots of pepper you can have my share

My bread is wholemeal. Ron has recently reintroduced it back in to his diet.

If you ring the store before you go I've heard they can bake some specially for you. There's a thread about them on the Low Carb forum and several people have said they've done this
 
What a life!
Been to a&e til early hours with sick 9yr old.
He was dehydrated and a temperature, even on calpol.
Still ill because after 5hrs waiting told might be another 2 hours (3 people before us.)
I took my crying child home still with stomach pains and ill.
We'll just ride the storm on sipping water. Unsure how much liquid he's keeping as sickness and loose tummy.
I might get the oxo cube out?

Did he ever get seen? That's atrocious a young child being left in agony
 
@ickihun - Vicky, What about calling your Practise Surgery and getting the Emergency On Call Dr to visit your home? = today.

It diverts to an answering machine and advises 111.
Which I did yesterday. I'm giving him rehydration drinks as per advice on nhs on-line.
If no improvement I will call gp at 9am for a home visit or a callback. They won't want him contaminating gp practice. He was lucky in the ambulance and taxi. I wouldn't like to risk it again.

He saw a nurse who said he can now have water as ambulance asked him to wait.
Nurse assessed him as low prioriity.
He keeps crying with the stomach pains and calpol/paracetamol just going straight through him.
No ibruprofen allowed on stomach pains.
I think he was toilet shy and worried in a&e so he just sat quiet. I guess he wasnt as volatile than at home.
 
Hi:). Can someone answer this question? I had 2 Steroid Injections on Friday (3 days ago now) How soon should I start to feel the effects from the Steroid working on my joints? Because I don't feel any different! = Thanks in advance :)
 
Hugs & best wishes to Vicki and little one, hope he feels better soon and that you can stop worrying. xx

William, sorry haven't got a clue. Oral steroids take a while to work so maybe they're there in the background working hard for you to be in less pain, hope so. xx

Hope everyone is doing well and feeling ok. Just in case you didn't know.............football on again :bigtears:
