Thanks for putting into context. Hopefully LCHF and IF will help me get there

Well done, @GeoffersTaylor! That's an amazing result and just goes to show what can be achieved with determination, great control and LCHF. You were one of the first people to offer me support and encouragement when I first joined the forums, and you - and your yummy spinach bread! - have always been a source of inspiration to me, so it's heartwarming to see all your hard work rewarded. Gives the rest of us hope for the future.5.6 today.
More importantly, I had my HbA1c result - 34 ! That's the same as it was last time and since I have been allowing myself more carby treats I was expecting it to go up so I am very very pleased.
The practice nurse thinks I may reversed my diabetes completely, but I still think that if I quit LCHF my sugars would shoot up again. I've got good blood control because I generally eat very few carbs, not because I've stopped being diabetic.
In other news, my cholesterol has improved from last time, down to 6.6. Trigs are 1.7, HDLs 1.9 and LDLs 3.5. That's all much better than my diagnosis 12 months ago but not quite as good as when I was being super-strict last summer.
All in all, really good results and I'm celebrating tonight. With pizza - real pizza - coz I deserve it.
I'd give you all a slice if I could because support from here has been really helpful on those days when I've just felt like giving up on the good habits.
Don't worry, Kevin, it will just be your liver helping you fight the bug. Be good to yourself, go with the flow, and you'll soon be back in your 4s again. Big hugs x

Sure this is just a temporary blip @KevinPotts we all have them - just blame Brexit, I'm blaming it for everything that's wrong in my life right now LOL - unless you've been waying into that Oppo too hard
