People who tell lies.
My GP (Dr Doom).
Evening everyone, I hope today has found you well. Haven't been on here for a few years, some questions if I can.
I got my Hba1C down to 40 through diet. Last week, I get an urgent call from GP to come straight over. My Hba1C was 101, cholesterol up from 3.9 to 5.5, triglycerides up to to 5.5. What would make this giant leap and is it truly dangerous.
I was put on metformin had a very bad reaction so had to stop. Is it worth trying a similar drug or they all the same.
Was given a machine, strips and told to monitor 3 times a day. Can't stop the spiking 15.5 after a sensible meal, lowest after night fast is 9.2, why?
It all went wrong for me last Thursday, I felt unwell, my bp had dropped very low pulse was high. Taken to hospital where I deteriorated very quickly, oxygen SATs v low, bp dropped further, breathing laboured, QTC prolonged to 550ms and bg 10.5. So I spent 8 hours in resus and 2 days in hospital and released with no diagnosis. I should say I have heart failure so not the best combination with diabetes.
I'd be so truly grateful if anyone can give me any answers to all or just some of my symptoms. I think if I hadn't had resus intervention I would have lost consciousness because that's how I felt. Never felt like that before, never fainted or passed out before, so scary.
Thank you in advance, kind regards Quentin.
