I have the day off today - going to spend the day with my sister

5.6 this morning....:):):)

So think maybe my liver is allergic to work....now just need to win the lottery
 
6.0 this morning after another big protein-heavy pub dinner. Horrible weather, not getting any exercise at the moment.
 
5.6 .... had ice cream with chocolate sauce last night ..... :oops:

Those figures look very good for both of you don't they? Is sub-4 for a non-diabetic a problem?

The 3.6 was for me not my wife, which is fine for me but may be a bit low for some. I am fine with my readings but my wife's are borderline to high I would say. I guess we both low carb usually, but a bit more so for me than for her. I average about 100g carbs per day at the moment.

Good morning all,

Haven't posted for a while but just wanted to share with you some good news. Firstly, for the past few weeks, I have not had a fasting reading above the 4's, varying from 4.2-4.9. Even my after meal readings have never been above 6.5. I am very pleased with this! Secondly, I went for my annual blood test this morning. Normally the nurse has trouble finding a vein and it is soooo painful, lots of bruising too. This time, in straight away and not painful at all! My tip-lots of water, keep warm and let your arm hang floppy by your side while waiting in reception, worked a treat. Thirdly and possibly the best bit, after fasting since 9pm last night and my trip to the doctors, I was 4.8 on my return!

I am normally quite well controlled but do struggle with morning readings, so this is a real triumph for me. The only thing I can put it down to is I have lost a few stubborn pounds that I had been trying to lose for ages, and I've been seeing a chiropractor. My diet is fairly light in the day (but includes good fats) and for tea I have a larger meal of meat or fish with loads of veg, followed by dark chocolate or full fat yoghurt before bed. I don't take any meds but have been taking a probiotic, 1000mg vitamin C and magnesium every day. I also started taking my antihistimine again a few days ago. I haven't been exercising massively due to pain issues but I do physio exercises and gentle walking every day. I have also been sleeping fairly well.

Sorry for long post but I just wanted to share my experience and hopefully help others who may be struggling.

I have high hopes for the results next week - last time my HBA1C was equiv to 5.5, I am massively hoping for a 4 something this time.

Tonight, my other half is taking me out for a long overdue date night, I think I might celebrate with a glass of wine! Well done me, am patting myself on the back as I type!:joyful:

Wishing you all good results too and most importantly a very happy weekend;)

**** fine result, here's hoping bloods come back as anticipated, whichever way it's goes keep up the good fight. Many many congratulations
 
Thank you both and good luck @vit90 on your mission too;)
 
Just looked at your results @vit90 , it looks like you're very nearly there - not far to go now. Your history is very similar to mine - I started out with hba1c at 9% and weighed 13 stone in 2011. Our other results look quite similar at first glance too. It's nice to feel as though we're not on this journey alone, isn't it?
