14. Update on Tuesday, 26 June 2012.

My last 6-monthly Diabetes Type 2 Results on Tuesday, 26 June 2012, continue to be as good as they have ever been .....

    Urine:-                 Normal
    Blood Pressure:-        140/80
    Weight:-                91Kg or 14st. 4lbs.
   (Height:-                6'5.5" or 1.97m)
    Liver:-                 Normal
    Thyroid:-               Normal
    Kidneys:-               Normal
    Cholesterol:-           4.6
    Triglycerides:-         3.2 (a little too high)
    Blood Sugar:-           7
    Hb1AC:-                 5.9
    Eyes:-                  Normal
    Feet:-                  Normal
    Blood Count:-           Normal

Still not on any kind of diabetes or cholesterol medication!

As I'm continuing to maintain results as good as any non-diabetic, my next appointment will not be for another 12 months - 11 June 2013 - rather than in 6 months time.

It's also probably because the NHS is being stretched more than ever by a substantial increase in the number of people diagnosed with Diabetes but with less and less staff and funds to deal with them.

22 July 2012.

My wife and I have just returned from a 7-day Norwegian Fjord Cruise with Saga. It was absolutely fabulous and we met many lovely people onboard - three in particular.

A really outstanding way to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary.
