well was at the nursy last week with her trainee.
I'm being checked 3 monthly the now.
I was thinking it would be the same tests as before nope one blood test and told that was that??
I'm diet controlled no meds and nothing on my diet or exercises or even a weigh in. I had to ask for that. I'm not even sure she logged it.
I was sorely disappointed in the appointment to be honest.
I phoned surgery to ask about my results to be told they are not in and I then remember I have Mydiabetes and log in and it's there and I'm doing a happy dance I'm 6.7% down 2% from 3 months ago. All down to me with changing my diet and getting a monitor to test so I know what to avoid in my diet. Also taking up some exercise for my mental Health and well being as I nightly walk 45-60 minutes a night now and toning exercise every other day. My change of diet was for my blood sugar levels and the weight loss was a side effect of that.
I would like to thank you lot on this forum for that as I took my head out of the sand and went low carb and it worked for me. For listening to me whinge and moan and for having happy days too.
