Hello everybody
Today I have seen a new doctor at my practice after having my blood tests last week [ first for 15 months as nobody seemed to care]. I have lost over 22kg since being put on massive dose of Steroids which caused the Diabetes, I have also been cutting down on my Metformin myself as my blood sugars seemed low. Well today I have been given the news that my HbA1c is 32 [ only told because I asked for it ] and everything was finally explained to me in a language I could understand, it also said on my blood glucose results, risks of Hypoglycaemia so now my sugars are too low. As from the morning my Pravastatin and Statins are stopping and over the next 2 months my Steroids and 2 other drugs which have to be taken because of Steroid risks will also be finished. I only found out about HbA1c and related things on this Forum so THANK YOU to everybody, GOOD LUCK, take care and do your best to come off the medication.
