I had my first three monthly HbA1c blood test on 23rd Dec, and have been anxiously awaiting the results ever since.
The blood test was initially scheduled for mid December, but I postponed and rescheduled it to late December, as I wanted it to coincide with my ending the 12 week T2D pathway diet, and hopefully show a lowering of my BG levels.

So.... finally got the results online this morning.
[Drum Roll......]

My HbA1c level as of today is..... 38. I am so, so pleased that I am barely able to contain myself!

My last HbA1c from several months ago was 54 I think, and has come down from its highest at initial diagnosis of 108, so the T2D diet and resulting weight loss have made a real and significant difference.

The blood test was a full on test, and all other levels (kidney function, creatine levels, B12, Triglyc, etc) are all normal.
The only slightly high reading was Cholesterol, but it is only very slightly over, and has come down from where it was.

Just wanted to share, thank you all for the support and info on this site.
The journey is not over yet, this is just the start. And I will continue to update on here and be part of this marvellous community.

Cheers

Well, as we know, unfortunately you are never free from Diabetes, once diagnosed, even if you go into remission, it can always come back. So, although this is good news, I have to continue to monitor my BG levels and also maintain the weight loss and change my lifestyle, (via eating and exercise) from now on going forward.
But I now know that I can do it and I now have the experience and knowledge and tools to help me in the future.
 
Well done! Inspirational
 
Wow. Well done @pjgtech
A fabulous start to your new year.
As you say you are never free from D but you now have the strategies to put it in check.
 
Oh, I'm so pleased for you. That is a fantastic result (and well deserved).
 
Amazing! Well done.
