Hello all.
I became suddenly ill, flu like symptoms without the actual flu, and had a whole heap of bloods done.
Received the call to do fasting glucose as my random was 9.9. Fasting came back 7.6 with hba1c 6.6.
I developed horrendous abdominal pain and the GP put me on antibiotics for a liver infection (as my bloods showed massive markers but these were ignored in favour of jumping on the blood sugars) and told me to ignore the BG results due to the infection.
Well I ignored him and got a monitor as I was feeling so ill.
I have been monitoring regularly and it goes between 6.2 and 8.1. I was already on a low carb/no sugar diet due to other medical issues and have not changed from that.
My problem is that I have been very symptomatic over the last few days and today has been horrendous, nausea, headache, barely staying awake, confusion at points. My readings have been between 6.2 and 7.8. Should I be feeling this symptomatic on those readings? Do I need to get back to the GP and push for meds?
Any advice would be great appreciated thank you.
