[QUOTE="Japes, post: 1170076, member: 277410"] Appointment with Diabetic Nurse this afternoon. She's delighted with the progress thus far and re-iterated what the nurse said the other week "Whatever it is you are doing, keep on doing it and I'll see you in six months" I was not surprised to find my HbA1c had risen very slightly (from 57 to 58) and I've agreed to an upping of Metformin (from 3 x 500g to 4 x 500g) to see if we can deal with the FBS being the highest of the day - I'm kind of disappointed which is silly of me. But, I am reminding myself that I've achieved a massive turn round in so much (weight, blood pressure, cholesterol are all down and well within the targets I'd been set) and this was not unexpected. In fact, I was expecting higher! We had an amicable disagreement about test strips! I stated clearly it was my main tool in getting good control and as I was fine self-funding the strips I would continue to test. She did try to discourage my four times a day testing habit, (more in a resigned "This is what I've got to say" kind of way rather than a scolding "You don't need to do this") but agreed it was my right to do so. I shall take my disappointment for a long walk! [/QUOTE]
