I've finally been able to post this. There must have been a glitch on the forum somewhere.
I went for my Diabetes Clinic appointment today. To say the nurse was staggered was an understatement. I explained why my readings could have been 2.2 but she is still wanting the doctor to investigate it. I got the impression that she'd never seen one this low without the side effects that come with it. I told her that I genuinely had no effects from it and when I have had dizziness, etc, I've checked my bloods and they've always been in the normal range. I told her I was in the Perimenopause age and that can affect my bloods to a degree but she is still bothered by it.
I told her I was low carb now and one good point was that she acknowledged this and knew of this forum. She didn't quibble how I'd done it. My 8 stone weight loss has been done sensibly over nearly two years as I can't NOT eat. I explained to her that my readings are in the normal range and that the 2.2 was exceptional in it's difference to mine at home. I also told her that my body and way of eating from nearly two years ago is like day and night. I really did eat that much junk and rubbish everyday, all day. In some respects I believe that my body went into some kind of shock after being drastically starved of all the sugar I consumed. I'm not a medical expert at all but I genuinely feel okay and if there had been anything untoward, I would have had to act.
Half of me is pleased that she wants to check but half of me was surprised at her sheer amazement. She partly listened to what I said but a lot of my conversation didn't make much of a difference.
I can't help but worry now. I'm a known worry wart at the best of times but to baffle the doctors and nurses at our surgery like this is confusing and surprising too. I just wanted to update things on here. The nurse is ringing me tomorrow to see what the doctor says. Fingers crossed, it isn't bad. I am hoping that the diary I've written down will show them how I've been so that they at least won't be as surprised by my particular case.
