I'm having the best day
Hba1c at diagnosis in February was 14.7%..... Early April it was 8.7%
This time around I was aiming for 7.9% or under. Just an Indication that my control was tightening up. Imagine my shock when he told me 6.1% !!! I've tried so hard and couldn't be more pleased.
We've discussed pumps and he says I'm the perfect candidate. I'm hopefully doing DAFNE in November so at my next review in January he will refer me officially.
Having additional test done this time around. One for coeliac even though I said I have no reason to believe I have it! And one for thyroid antibodies. My thyroid function itself was fine but my mother has hypothyroidism so they want to double check I haven't got the antibodies.
He also kindly told me I'm allowed to try for a baby..... I declined the offer haha ask me again in a few years!
All round - a pretty good day!
