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

@shelley262 just wanted to add your elderly mum is amazing in her diabetes management especially being open minded enough to adapt her woe and I hope she continues to benefit from it. Non diabetics of that age would have organs wearing out so she is doing well.

OK here we go :D

Latest Results from my DN visit earlier today.

HbA1c is 29 (4.8%) - up a little as expected because of weight stabilisation but I'm pretty happy, it was 27 last time :)

total cholesterol - 4.6 mmol/L
Triglycerides - 0.6
HDL - 1.4
Calculated LDL - 2.9
Non HDL cholesterol 3.2

Sodium/Potassium/Urea/Creatinine all within normal range.
Chloride was 109 showing high against the range 95-108 but, given the other results, the nurse says not worrying because probably a touch of dehydration after fasting.
eGFR >90 (normal)

All toes suitably ticklish ;)

weight 68.2Kg fully dressed.

BP 110/72

Nurse was very pleased and says she wished she had more like me :hilarious: apparently I'm an inspiration.:singing:

I hadn't seen this particular nurse before and we had a good conversation about me doing LCHF and the benefits, she asked intelligent questions and seemed fairly open to the idea.

I'm really pleased I've managed to keep my weight and BG fairly stable and managed to push my HDL up a bit. Couldn't have done it without LCHF and the support of you friendly people, so thank you all :)

That's 2 years of non diabetic HbA1c's, so in celebration I'll change my description to 'in remission'
Just a urine sample to provide now. Next test in 6 months.
