Just had my latest appointment with my specialist endocrinologist.
Good news. Really pleased with my lifestyle and how the treatment is working. BP normal, lost just over another stone since August I was 13st 3lb, now 12st 1lb.
He does want me to lose another 2 stone to avoid becoming diabetic and any complications.
Got to have more tests another OGTTS next month to see how my pancreas and insulin are doing. This will be a five hour test. Bloods done at the same time and sent to lab in London for investigation, last time nothing unusual. This includes c-peptide and others.
He told that I'm the first person with RH to be prescribed sitagliptin and because of the good results, he has started prescribing for another patient with Late RH. Who has more complications. But it also working for her!
There was some bad news. My consultant is leaving my hospital and going to practice in Manchester. I'm going to discuss it with my GP to see if I could still be seen by him. Which obviously I would like to. Simply because he has given me my life back. I owe him so much.
Notwithstanding the wonderful helpful posters on this forum who have given me such really great advice on everything.
Thank you all so much!
