Had a phone call from my diabetes nurse this morning and my latest HbA1c is 38! Yayyyy, I’m more than happy with that.

Following the low carb approach has definitely been a revelation to me. Yes, it’s made a huge difference to the diabetes but just in general, low carb seems to suit me better and I don’t get food hangover’s anymore.

Staying motivated is my next challenge, I still have weight to lose, I’m enjoying being back swimming and I’ve sort of got a plan of challenging myself to another 10k road race at some point. I HATE running but I love organised races, especially if there is a medal and T-shirt at the end!

I have treated myself to a little trinket this morning to celebrate

I’m the one in the middle

You certainly deserve that little "trinket" Hope you get lots of enjoyment from wearing it. A suitable reminder of your amazing achievement.

Well done! So pleased for you.🙂🙂🙂🙂
 
Just the sort of trinket you deserve, I'd say! Bracelet, or necklace? Both lovely pics themselves, and apols to the two other ladies in the first one, but I much prefer the second!

Congratulations, that’s a fantastic result - well done and really well deserved! Such a turnaround from nearly 100 at the beginning of the year!

It’s a bracelet. It called to me as I walked past the jewellers :rofl:

Yes, the second pic is definitely better. I’ve had that little black dress for years but not been able to fit in it for the last five of them. Still a bit tight but I’ll get there.
 
What an amazing achievement. You are inspirational!
 
Brilliant! Well done.
 
Oh my. What a transformation, @deb_i . You have done SO well on so many fronts.

I'm sure feeling well will be a big motivator to keeping going. Almost 10 years in, I can confidently say it gets easier with time.
 
Wow, well done, congratulations, wow! Amazing! 🙂 🙂 🙂
