For the past few days ive had an almost drunk feeling. Just had my hbn1c results back saying its at 59 which is around 3.3. I'm not sure what to do if anything. I'm type 2 on slow release metformin. Any help is much appreciated.
can anyone help

If your Hba1c is 3.3 in mmols then you must have been skirting with very low blood sugar levels in the last few months.
I know when my reactions are delayed (like a drunk according to some), I'm hypo.
Have you self checked your bs at all? It will help.
I don't have my meter with me at the minute hoping to get it in the next hour. Have had some word loss problems over the past few days as well. Panicking slightly now :/
Thank you for replying

Sounds like a hypo to me.
Get it checked out!
Also if your hba1c came back 3.3. I'm surprised the doctor didn't comment on it?

Assuming Claire is UK based and her Hba1c of 59 in new money that according to the converter is 7.5 % in old school, which is slightly high as its in the amber section of the converter, unless I got things mixed up. http://www.diabetes.co.uk/hba1c-units-converter.html
The symptoms do need monitoring and checking on a meter to see what's going on and treating accordingly.

No that sounds correct as I know that 48 is 6.5% so 59 is a little high.
