Good Evenening all
i really don't know where to begin with this one as i have had excellent advise from many people on these forums with regards to my high sugar but this time things are very serious, i have as people will be aware been told on numerous occasion that my Hab1c is within range at 7.3 down from 9 and i don't really have a problem with that what i do have a problem with is that all my readings are extremely high for me i can never get them below 12 and as high as 20.3. my fasting this morning was 17.8
On the 13th of October i presented my self at A&E with stage 5 hypertension 209-130 and the reason i presented my self was that i completely lost my balance and i did not regain it for 12 Hours i could not see straight my head was pounding and i felt sick, the reason i am telling you this is that they did a CAT scan of my head and they found i had had a Stroke not a massive one but one i am very worried about nonetheless, this stroke is what they call a Lacunar Infarction and apparently i had it awhile ago so it is an old injury, my concern is that my Diabetes nurse does not seem to understand how worried i am and only tells me to have another Hba1c in 4 months and has no concern about my high spikes.
my Question after all this is should i be worried? or am i being overly cautious, i have an appointment with a Cardiologist next Wednesday and i am hoping he may take over control of my Diabetes treatment, i am currently taking 4 different blood pressure medications and Gliclazide and Pravastatin that have not yet lowered my blood pressure or glucose level enough and i am taking a cholesterol medication that still has my cholesterol at 7.2, please someone help me to make them understand that i think that this now needs some proper treatment as i so far have been unsuccessful, thanks for taking the time to read this post
