Confused newly diagnosed Type 2

[gwalmsley]

Just got back from the doctors with my first 3 months HBA1c result.... 38!

Cholesterol was a 4.79.

Must be doing something right. Also dropped my weight from 14st 6lb to 12st 8lb so far.

Morning test is now around a 5.8 rather than high 6 or 7, and my 2 hour after eating is generally below 8.5 with some 7s.

A big thank you to everyone on here who has helped me and answered all my possibly stupid questions, and got me going in the right direction with my meter and carbs control.

I am doing the London Bridges walk on the 1st October so I may meet some of you there. £200 raised so far and another week to go!

Thank you once again.

Fabulous. Well done. :: claps :: 🙂

Well done Graham. 38 is a non diabetic and non pre-diabetic hba1c. You must be thrilled. Not sure whether once diagnosed you can be told you are non-diabetic. My Dad in Law's neighbour went from diabetic to normal but her GP said she would still be classed as diabetic but with better control. I have heard others are taken off the register so not sure whether it depends on the GP. Others on here may know better.

I am sure if I went back to my 'old ways' then it would shoot back up and is only that low due to strict diet, carb control and exercise.

Is it a case of once a Diabetic always a Diabetic? I am sure one cream cake would have my numbers through the roof 🙂

pleased that all the effort and hard work has paid off - got to be ever watchful and keep up the regime - looking forward to our first walking Event together - raising awareness and funds ( the diet hasn't done me any harm either 😉 )

Well done.🙂 I'm afraid once a diabetic, always a diabetic. My last two HbA1c's were both 35. My GP & DSN has never seen any diabetic get non diabetic figures. If I stay below 42 when I get tested next month, I will be taken off the diabetic register. I know by testing my BG that I am still diabetic, but now i'm back within range, I find occasional treats don't have any long term effects.🙂
