Cheers guys... I am left wondering though ....
If you look at the lighter text under the blood test results,
there are guidelines for the Doctors. It says
"Greater than or equal to 48mmol/mol - indication of diabetes,
if patient is symptomatic diagnosis is confirmed, If
Asymptomatic, repeat testing in 4 weeks for confirmation"
Well, I was asymptomatic, I didn't get a 4 week retest, just an
"on the spot" diagnosis as Diabetic, and now, here I am back in
normal ranges ....Could it be that I was never diabetic in the
first place.

Excellent stuff Dr Z. Very happy for you !
You probably weren’t diabetic in first place. Did you have any
symptoms (thirst, hypos, hypers?)
Did you actually go see a diabetic consultant or was it GP? My
wife’s type one and she sees consultant every 3 months

That was my point, going from their own parameters my diagnosis
(GP) was sketchy to say the least? My A1c was sky high though,
over double the threshold of indicative diagnosis, so I don't
know if that alone was a factor, also unfasted glucose was about
20, so I think a bit of reading between the lines was done.
Either way, plenty of other markers were bad, and it seems my
Diabetes plan put those right too. So s'all good man!
On reflection this diagnosis, accurate or otherwise was probably
a blessing.

I dare say if enough of your numbers were that much on the pi55
you can allow them some latitude for reading more between the
lines without a retest straight away, they probably see it
enough to know at the end of the day. But either way, the
outcome for your health etc has been a positive one regardless -
would have been nice to have had the fear of death thrown at you
tho

I don't know? I think I really needed it to be honest. I'd had
a few little scares over the years, things like BP going up,
palpitations occasionally, but these were always the type of
thing that once anything seriously nasty was ruled out, a few
weeks of mild "health kick" was enough to put them right. Never
quite enough to make radical changes to my, but just enough to
nudge me out of danger.
I kind of feel like this illness, and the fear of death, or fear
of lost limbs and eyesight, is sadly just what I needed to sort
my life out, and even while in remission now, I know I cannot
afford to let my habits slip again.
If I were now in a position where Diabetes was History, gone
forever, then I suspect in a few years time I'd become
complacent and let myself go again.
I hate to admit it, but I can't be trusted to stay in shape, I
need this to keep me in check.

Had a think about how to celebrate, and in the end opted for
Pizza hut buffet, while out shopping for my soon to be 16 year
old Son's first formal suit.
To be honest the treat was more about sitting around the table
with my wife and son in a restaurant, because the just doesn't
happen enough these days, he rarely leaves the house on his own
time as it is, and when he does, he doesn't want to be seen out
with his parents.
I confess to eating about 12 slices of Pizza, in my defence,
they do cut the slices bloody thinly though! I then finished
the day off with some Marmite on Toast, which used to be my
comfort food before the diet, Again, this was almost more about
ritual than anything else, I used to have a bit most evenings,
and the dog would come up and sit next to me and we'd usually
end up sharing it. So that was nice.
I was expecting to see a huge Keto rebound weight gain this
morning, but no, none at all. Makes me wonder if I have been in
Ketosis? not that I worry about these things.
Anyway, that's enough cheating. Back to business now, as the
next phase beckons.

Certainly well earned. And nice to know you can do it without
going off the rails
