This week I had my first annual review with my GP. She was thrilled that my hba1c has come down to 35.
She took my blood pressure (totally normal) and did the old foot tickle. That was horrid as I HATE my feet being touched but all the markers she poked had sensation so all good. I had to resist the urge to laugh or kick her in the face by accident!

All in all though everything is looking very good. We didn’t discuss reducing meds yet as I am pregnant so I expect that will come later if my levels stay good.

She commented that I am obviously clued up and aware of my body. Well I’ve had you lovely lot to thank for that!
 
That’s great news
 
Well done brilliant x
 
Too good, MM!
 
Great news, so pleased all is going well for you x
 
That is great news .
 
Not the most relaxed time of a lady's life for a first annual review LOL She's right though - you have done brilliantly thus far!

When's your EWC now?
