Fantastic result, well done I am truly pleased for you. I still haven’t dared to look at my results even though they are just a click away ;)

Thinking of you @jayney27 are you waiting till Friday for your appointment or aren’t you sure? Worse than exam results I think! Big hug from me and sure our family’s puppy would give you a lick and a cuddle too! When we take him out it takes ages to get anywhere as everyone wants to cuddle and fuss him he’s so tiny and looks like a teddy bear!

Still rejoicing re latest HbA1c result: 39 ( sorry if you’ve already seen this in my fasting glucose post, but feeling too chuffed to shut up about it yet)
I’m happy with it coming down fairly slowly as I think Ive found a regime that works for me and I don’t mind if it takes a bit longer this way.

@DJC3 You are quite entitled to be rejoicing and congratulations on finding a regime that works for you. As @shelley262 says your menus always look really good. All in all your experience perfectly fits the description of a different lifestyle not a diet.:woot::woot:

thank you @shelley262 i am trying to hang on til Friday, silly I know, after bothering to register for online results and now not daring to study them!
I can imagine that everyone stops you to cuddle that lovely fur baby, he really is a cutie, enjoy him while you can and good luck with your presentations and other engagements, I hope you manage to avoid the cake, if that is what you want to do of course, if not have a slice and enjoy the celebrations.

Thank you again. Maybe when I get down to mid 30s. I’m happy enough with my result but not sure I feel successful enough to make a separate post about it yet.

Thanks, I completely understand your angst, it really is like waiting for exam results isn’t it.
To be honest I wasn’t really expecting them to be there when I clicked on the page. I only had the blood taken that morning!
Fingers crossed for you on Fri but Ive no doubt you will have a fine result x

Well done @DJC3 , welcome to the 30s club :)
Breakfast: my usual low carb coconut ‘porridge’ with strawberries and cream washed down with a black coffee.
Lunch at Prèt with my daughter: crayfish and avocado salad followed by chocolate coconut bite with Diet Coke.
Dinner: chicken supreme, carrot and swede mash and peas followed by low carb baked egg custard and SF maple syrup.

Wow @DJC3 how well done is that so pleasedfor you especially as you’ve been concerned over some higher figures - told you “it would come out in the wash” and it has - your steady LCHF eating is clearly working. A well earnt good result and as you say it will keep steadily reducing. Your happy medium too is perfect I love that you’re enjoying life too - that’s the most important thing. Your menus too always look delish. Celebrate your well earnt result well done again and please accept a well done hug from me Xxx

Many thanks Shelley, Ive picked your brains countless times though over recipes and general low carbness and you are always so supportive.
Could I have a hug from your gorgeous puppy too please? I wouldn’t be able to resist if I saw him out walking.

Thank you for the vote of confidence, not long until I know my numbers, unless I crumble before Friday and look ;)

Of course you can and a big lick too he’s very generous with those but as he’s so tiny they are not really huge licks!

@DJC3 do remember you’re a star you’ve made amazing progress and remain so positive my support was merely that it’s you who did the work. New avatar btw shows size of family puppy.
