Vindication!

Last Thursday, I had the results of my last HbA1c test and I am delighted to report that it has plummeted from 72 in January to 39 now.  My diabetic nurse is over the moon as of course am I.  My diabetic medication has been halved and I've also managed to get my statin changed for one with less side effects.  My blood pressure has also reduced and I've lost another 5lbs according to her scales.  She said that it is extremely rare that they reduce patients meds 😀.  I came out of the surgery almost dancing with joy!!  It's a vindication of the new way I'm eating, which of course I will have to stick to for the rest of my life if I want to keep my blood glucose levels low.  I'd begun to get quite grumpy and resentful when others were eating things I can't eat around me, but these results help both me and my family accept the way it has to be.
