[QUOTE="toonarmy1000, post: 1618663, member: 143561"] I'm sure this will be interesting. just had my review and separate doctors appointment. hba1c 68 which isn't as high as I anticipated after the last 6 weeks! showed her the last 3 weeks results between 10 and 20 but mainly mid teens and above. been put on sitagliptin which I will start tomorrow. to summarise I said I was worried about long term effects with bloods running to high for too long and was told not to worry and to wait about 8 weeks and monitor bloods and ring in if they go any higher. I told her the advice I had been receiving on here and she basically said it was an over reaction and some people that's normal? ( doctor said the same because I asked them both the same questions and they sang from the same hymn sheet) . I also showed that I had been limiting to 30g approx carbs per meal and was told not to worry about carb counting at this stage and just eat balanced meals and wait for it 2 slices bread with morning bacon and scrambled eggs is fine and sensible! (doctor same comments) she also said mine was a strange case that they have come across on a few occasions where everything seems to be fine even getting down to pre diabetic levels then everything spiking out of the blue . (was on insulin in 2015 for 5 weeks then back to normal on just metformin until this happened but this was because I stopped taking meds so my own fault) . she also mentioned the possibility I could be type 1 1/2 or type 3? is this just another way of them saying they haven't got a clue what's happening? lol. she said I was definitely different anyway! anyway I'm now in limbo start the new meds tomorrow and keep eating balanced meals and hopefully see a difference and also referred for the next Desmond course. I'm going to follow advice but any rise and I'm going to be ringing up and asking to be referred to diabetic centre for second opinion . [/QUOTE]
