Hiya K, I haven’t got lymes I lived in New York for 3 years and a number of people around me caught it ..nasty, nasty thing to have
Jelly babies work for me! Glad you are OK today.I drank half a glass of lucozade and within 15 minutes was up in the 5’s
The hypo feeling scares me it really does
Could you explain, for a newbie, why that is bad? I thought anything between 4-7 was considered OK?6.8 im not impressed hope this is a one off. hope everyones getting over their colds.
because ive been holding to the low 5s for 6 weeks its because im off my insulin. my aim is 5-6Could you explain, for a newbie, why that is bad? I thought anything between 4-7 was considered OK?
Anyway, I thought I was doing OK recently, until I just now felt unusually hungry, so did a random test and found that 6 units of Novorapid doesn't cover a small bowl of broccoli soup!

The HbA1c reduction from 85 to 46 is good.Just received a call from my diabetic nurse saying that my HbAlC has gone down from 85% to 46% in 2.5 months. She said it’s gone to the “pre-diabetic range” according to the HBA1C chart.
What does it mean? Good, bad?
I also received a letter today from the recent eye screening which says I have background retinopathy and my DN said it’s the result of having such a high bg level and dropped so quickly.
I really don’t understand what’s going on!

Wow well done ! Serious low carb ? That’s a brilliant reduction the good news about background retinopathy it is possible to normalise it. Mine normalised by reducing my Hba1c
The HbA1c reduction from 85 to 46 is good.
48 and above is diabetic. 42-47 is pre-diabetic, and below 42 is non-diabetic.
You have done well to lower your HbA1c so much in less than 3 months. Keep on doing what you are doing and you should get into the non-diabetic range by your next HbA1c test.
The background retinopathy would be due to your former high HbA1c, it should improve as you lower your blood sugars.
Interesting. What gave you the confidence to come off the insulin? Are you effectively avoiding all carbs?because ive been holding to the low 5s for 6 weeks its because im off my insulin. my aim is 5-6
