@ianpspurs i was vitamin b12 deficient around a month ago my drs did a blood test to check for b12 stores the results came back yesterday and the drs say my results are satisfyingMorning all - late posting as I was reading a few things generally related to this mad riddle (TM Danny Dyer Inc 2018) of old gits health. Fbg was 6 which is very high but seems to be virus related. In case anyone cares, the pieces I was reading were on Vitamin B12 deficiency (common side effect of Metformin there are others inc statins and anti inflammatory NSAIDs) and effects of eating too little/fasting particularly on raising cholesterol.
Shared in spirit of hopefully being useful in making sense of the mad riddle of the raft of data we now have access to, rather than adding stress.

@Ziggy2017 that is good news. I am waiting for results from a test I asked for. In the meantime I have been taking b complex and b12 supplements.@ianpspurs i was vitamin b12 deficient around a month ago my drs did a blood test to check for b12 stores the results came back yesterday and the drs say my results are satisfying
Well, I've been out walking (sorry Jackson) and thought I't put this here.
I have just passed 3 years LC and testing ( July 8th). Results OK Hba1c fine, cholesterol fine including ratios, bp good, weight and waist to height ratio fine. Seems to me the diet and interventions needed for the 15 stone couch potato back then are no longer appropriate and actually starting to be potentially harmful for am 11.5 stone regular exerciser.
Point of putting it here is partly to ask others who have been in a similar situation what they did and to point out to those "coming behind" to be very aware of treating the whole person and where you are now not where you started.
@JohnEGreen I think we are actually "on the same page" (you can take the boy out of management but ....) The page being the one which says your body will need to be treated differently as you make the major changes many here are making. The HCP advice assumes failure to make changes and steadily worsening control. Many on here are effectively "normal, healthy" people and may need to recalibrate when they reach that point - at least them's my onions.I. But after losing a shed load of weigh bringing my BG levels into the normal range I find my self having to reassess that which I had already reassessed so am finding it a little confusing.
