Hey there,
I've just got a call from my new GP, only registered last week and got my blood test done last Thursday, My bloods are back and he wants to see me about my Iron levels and Folate levels. As soon as I was told this I thought anaemia. I had it when I was very young but not since. Has anyone else had this? I am following a high protein low carb diet, but because I have just re-settled in the UK I am still trying to sort this out as I'm not use to the available products. (I was living in Dubai previously Diabetic capital of the world I was told.)
Anyway one other question will I be issued with a glucose testing meter? The one I use to check my Freestyle Libre uses what I believe is the American system and the test strips are not available in the UK.
Thanks for any advice or help.
