As some know, I was diagnosed with T2 diabetes a few months ago with fasting Blood Sugar levels of 11.7, where 'normal' people should have BS at 4.5 to 6.5 ish. Went (cycled 4 miles) to the doctors yesterday, after a blood test last week, to discuss the result. He explained that after this amount of time they'd expect me to be between about 8 and 9 with a target of 6.8 or less within a year or so.
I was 7.2 ... ;)
I'm quite pleased about that result .. especially as it was supposed to have been a fasting blood test and (without realising) I'd eaten a Chinese late meal the night before and in the morning had some toast, drank tea and had a couple of custard cream biscuits about an hour before hand.
Down to more exercise, I now walk or cycle everywhere for journeys less than 10 or so miles, mostly now 'cos I want to rather than simply for exercise, a better diet, cut out sugar, eating more fruit and veg and generally living a more healthy lifestyle. I've lost 10 Kgs weight and my tablets have been reduced now, phasing them down slowly and monitoring sugar levels and I'm now on the lowest dosage available, which also seems good.
Just had to say something. ;)
