HbA1c is down to 34 so totally no longer a diabetic. Not needed insulin since the day of the transplant. Kidney function of 57% which is apparently fantastic. Everything else is well in range too, Calcium, potassium, iron, phosphate etc.

Full of energy and excited to resume my normal life and soon looking for a job so I can get back too work. Past five years have mostly been a waste and also a nightmare loosing both parent and all the dialysis and hospital stays and extra surgeries since the transplant.

Onwards and upwards. I'm feeling super positive.

Wow that's more than my entire body weight. I lost a stone over Christmas and now due to see a dietician to see how to put that back on.

Over a stone a month is unreal. Well done you. I don't know what your target is but as long you're doing it right and not being unhealthy then congrats to you.
