6.9. Lowest for ages.
My new eating regime is paying off - cut out red and all processed meat. Eating mainly fish, fresh chicken and fresh veg and some Quorn products and Falafels.

yesterday morning 6.1 measured by the nurse at my GP, but also only had 35 grams of carbs the day before... expecting my next HbA1c to be much higher like maybe 42 or 44 .... due to long time much higher numbers in general 
have to wait for the results

It seems OK so far. It's certainly easy to keep a track on the carbs you're eating and there are some good recipes/videos/information. I'll keep you posted.Ive been toying with the idea of joining since i was diagnosed. Read mixed reviews. I'm very interested to see how you get on

Sounds good. Ive now started to count my carbs as I never did before. How much is it to join, if you don't mind me asking?
My fasting blood sugar is usually between 12 and 15, occasionally 20+. I am on maximum metformin, liraglytide, glicazate and have really cut down on carbs and fruit. I have not had anything with sugar - no cakes, biscuits, chocolate etc for months and have lost 4 stone in weight. I don't know what else I can do to get my BS down. My diabetic nurse wants me to go on insulin but I have resisted for a couple of years now. Is this my only option?
