Not sure whether I should be shocked, my most recent one was 29.3, doctor referred me to diabetic specalist, had one last year because I only had type 1 diabetes for just over a year now and they said I could get blind (diabetic retinopathy) from having my blood sugars between 16 and 40 regularly. Not sure what to do to keep myself motivated to do this job because it feels like a lot of time to test my blood, give insulin. I've gone from having chocolate biscuits, desserts and sweet breakfasts to eating celery, chicken slices, pepperami and diet coke for the past week, I don't know if this is going to do to be honest.
Missed my eye screening appointment and could be at further risk, nonetheless I know it is the blood sugar alone that contributes to damaging the retina in the eye.
I had 3 blood tests in 2 months (including the latest one):
If anyone knows how to convert mmol/l to HbA1c, then you can point it out, but these figures are still high.
1. 11.2 mmol/l
2. 18 mmol/l
3. 23 hba1c
On average my blood glucose level is 16.0 according to my monitor. I am eating non-carb foods (except the pastry) so I am not sure what is going on here.
