A spot of positive news. Back in September, I was diagnosed as type 2 diabetic with 60 mmol/mol HBA1C. The diagnosis is set at 588, with 42 being pre-diabetic. Yesterday, the latest bloods came back as 33mmol/mol, which the GP confirmed to me meant that I am in remission.

Some random Nazi made dozens of accounts to try to harass me today when blocking malfunctioned, & *still* failed because not one single person engaged.
