[QUOTE="miahara, post: 1383498, member: 256148"] Had a chat with my GP today, first time I've really spoken to one since diagnosis in December 2015. My recent HbA1c results had just come in and were good. I was 11.5% at diagnosis, 6.9% in July 2016 and 6.5% last week. She looked at the graph I make from my BG readings which is now showing a steady decline (since I went LCHF in October). Doc reckoned that if the present trend continues I'd be classifed as in remission. There is of course a big 'if', so not laying any bets! It was also nice to find that she wasn't wedded to the NHS/NICE 'Eatwell' plate/guide and was aware of of recent research into relationship (possibly inverse) between cholesterol and morbidity/mortality She was also rather taken aback that the DSN who advised me when first diagnosed suggested plant sterols/stanols as these are contra-indicated (according to NICE) for patients on cholesterol lowering medication or with diabetes. I'd recently found this out myself. It was so nice to talk to a really clued-up medic. My BG trend, and fingers crossed it continues. I don't half fancy an icecream though :p [ATTACH=full]21867[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
