What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

good morning all

4.3 today

had my latest results from the nurse yesterday HbA1c is 27 only up 1 point from last time which I'm very pleased with because I've been tweaking my food intake to level my weight out.

Blood results are marked normal including lipid profile which is reassuring when I've been adding in more butter and coconut oil

total cholesterol 4.4 mmol/L, Trigs. 0.5, HDL 1.21, calculated LDL 3.0 - results seem better than results 6 months ago as HDL was marked low then?

From memory my blood pressure was 117/71 ( I should have written it down at the time )

I have been seeing her every three months since diagnosis 21 months ago ( weight checking) but now don't have to see her for 6 months. Had an 'all day breakfast' with mr. gee to celebrate.

Yay for lower carb , healthy fat!

thank you all so much for your support and help so far couldn't have got this far without it
 

Brilliant results. Congrats. Lots of hard work and really well done.
 

Wonderful wonderful set of results!

It’s really cheered me up reading your post, it’s so inspirational and motivational to know what can be achieved.

@geefull that is an amazing set of stats and brilliant progress. You provide inspiration and motivation so enjoy your day and I am sure there is a sunny glow emanating from you right now - deservedly so! (for you)
 

Well done! Excellent result.
Am just being curious are you taking any medication? for BG/cholesterol, Statins/metformin etc.
 

Fantastic!
 
Good morning all. Today's blood sugars were 5.2 -- good especially given that I still have a cold.

@Granny_grump_. Thanks for your kind wishes. As colds go, this one really isn't bad. How are you? How is your leg?
@ziggy_w thanks for asking I'm having regular dressings but infection seems to be under control and nurse seems happy with the graft so hoping all will turn out good in next few weeks,back tomorrow for more dressings. And I'm glad your cold is on the mend maybe we can both see an end to health problems soon! K
 
Well done geefull! K
