Diabetes - one year on

Last Friday I had my first annual checkover for my diabetes. Marion (the Diabetes Clinic nurse) confirmed the result of a Fasting Blood Test taken 3 weeks earlier. It was a straight 5.0 against a self test meter reading taken that morning of 5.7. Either way it's good, the nurse is happy and I'm happy. She says I can reduce my pills, but, was happy that I'd stay on a nominal 2 daily, which I'll reduce as I feel fit based on how I feel and meter readings -- I use Accu-Chek. My weight has gone up a little but that's not an undue cause for concern and hopefully will reduce with a bit more exercise in my daily routine.
