I have posted before about the fact that my Dr told me I was diabetic and has left me for a month before I see the diabetic nurse. I thought the Dr told me my fasting blood was 13 but she didn't mention HbA1c and I didn't know enough to ask what it was.
I went along this afternoon and saw the Dr's receptionist and asked if I could have a copy of my blood test results - She said no! I explained that I had already seen the Dr but wanted confirmation of what she had said. The receptionist said she isn't allowed to print out results unless it's for a consultant (money saving, she said) but she would tell me.
I gave her my details and she obviously didn't know what she was looking at, because she said "I'll print them, but don't tell anyone! You won't understand them though!" ha ha!
My FBG was actually 13.1 and my HbA1c was 129. I see the diabetic nurse two weeks today. Do you think she will try and give me metformin?
I have been following the LCHF diet (lost 5lbs last week) and feeling great. I got my Tee2 monitor today and I think I will be up at the crack of doom tomorrow to find out what my FBG is - see I know the lingo already!
