Its 7.9 The Dsn said medication was up to me, but as I was doing very well with diet and weight loss (well done you she said). She said lets see how you are in 3 months for a repeat as it was early days still. She said when I was diagnosed in March the HBA1c may have been higher and has come down to 7.9 due to my weight loss and diet control.
The urine showed less sugar than before.
I asked about insulin and she said Yes she will support me with that, and said if I wanted to go down that line she would refer me to the diabetic team at the local hospital to go through the options. She agreed , for me (and my disability) its more natural.
She said normally if she suggests insulin to most folks they put their hands up in horror at the thought of injecting them selves .
Anyway I dont feel despondent as I feel so well.

It's really good that you have a nurse that will listen to you and take appropriate action
