Hi, I have been having full blood tests every month for the last few years due to physical and mental wellbeing, My symptoms have been being tired all the rime, being hungry especially after eating, depression, anxiety, nervousness, hands shacking, blacking out every once in a while, lack of focus. not able to concentrate, headaches, cramps, intense joint pain and nerve pain that comes out of no where then goes and a few others. I have had a GTT been poked and prodded seen specialist and gone through 5 GP's. Only yesterday did I find out, because the doctor could not be there, (think he was playing golf), so I saw a nurse. She imparted a very interesting fact to me. It seems that my HBA1c levels are low and have been since this all started. In fact my last one was one of the highest at 3.5%. It has been as low as 2% but averages around 3%. So she asked me how my GP has been treating this. Well this was news to me since not one of the doctors or specialist have said anything and when I have asked about my blood test results they just say they are normal. Have asked for copies before and I always get the same answer. I will have to ask our department head is is not here. Typical NHS laziness. I eat a balance diet and early eat sugary foods. I do not drink much in fact two glasses of wine and i am toast. I have started to gain weight rather fast in the last few months even though I have cut back on my food potions and am eating more greens and less carbs. It is so hard to get up some morning I have actual slept to non and not known it. I am 49 and male.
I want to know if anyone else knows of a good chart for the HBA1c results what they mean to me as a % and where I may be able to get better help. I think I have been suffering with Reactive Hypoglycaemia for a while and the NHS just has no clue or does not want to treat it. Please help. I am tired of feeling like the energy and my life have been sucked out of me.
Thanks, milodogg
