BabyJane Sorry, I didn't see your post on Saturday (or those after it), my 'Threads I'm On' is too fast moving!

How easy is it not to eat lots of carbs - for me, being a non egg eating vegetarian, I wont lie, it is hard. However, if you come and join BIWI's Bootcamp threads, you will see for egg eating non veggies, it's not too hard and there are lots of tasty options and things you think you shouldn't eat that once you are low carbing you can eat :)

No idea what 'venus' means? I wonder if she has done the HbA1c?

Fasting test of 5.7 really doesn't mean anything. That would be what I would consider a fairly high fasting level for me and I do have diabetes. I'm not saying you DO, but just that I wouldn't call it 'normal'.

I will put this on my 'watch' list so you don't 'drop off' again!

Lol chipping!yea wish i had!lol
Has bootcamps got a topic of its own or is it part of another one?
Also had my eyes tested thoroughly yest where they did the retinotherapy as ive had troible with my sight getting worse in my right eye&i usually go to a different optician where ive had to have varifocals to wear all the time now!
They dont do the retinotherapy there though
Ive worn glasses for tv,reading etc since my late20s but usual optician said that sigjt in that eye has detiorated faster than he woild have expected!
Anyway test yest confirmed that theres nowt nasty going on except dry eye which ive got. drops for now
so no diabetic retinopathy which is a very good sign im hoping!

Brilliant Both on the 'no retinopathy' and your result today - you must be breathing a HUGE sigh of relief :)

Did they say what your HbA1c was?

[babyjane67]

Yes i am!
No didnt mention it just said result was normal&that was it!lol

[ChippingInNeedsSleepAndCoffee]

I was just interested to see what it was and what they classed as 'normal'.

Maybe it will give you the incentive to make a few changes that will help you stay healthy :)

[babyjane67]

Maybe lol
Many thanks for all yr help chippings:)
