| | | First HbA1C since diagnosis
Hi!
Just got back from getting my first post DX hba1c.
My number at diagnosis (July) was 16.2!!!
My number this week is 8.0.
And i know this number is constantly falling based on my BGL averages. in December i aim to be below 6.
if i get to below 6 my GP says i can stop taking the meds and use diet and exercise only!
the other exciting news is that my triglycerides, which have ALWAYS been high, are down to 1.4 mmol/L (123.5 mg/dl).
my Cholesterol is down to 2.1 mmol/l (81.2). 
-- Joel.
