[QUOTE="First.Officer, post: 2073356, member: 501885"] Hi all, Sorry - i did have a previous HbA1c of 51 in August last year - this was also at the same time as i was in the process of “killing” a nasty parasite i picked up in West Africa some 3-years prior, a parasite that it turns out is a prolific sugar consumer. I was only told in August last year that “ my blood sugars were slightly high...”. As i now know, they were actually T2 levels. Ive not had any other tests than the HbA1c. One doctor i saw suggested that at 26 mol/mmol, this was suggestively low and he also did mention a glucose test perhaps would have been a good idea. Recently I’ve tried messing around with carbs, trying sugary stuff - seemingly has very little effect on me 1 hour, 2 hours post meal. Makes me wonder if my symptoms might be due to lacking carbs in my diet as i’m living life as a diabetic in respect of meals etc. Had Thyroid TSH and T4 levels checked, bloods etc. - nothing found although i think that the thyroid check was less than ideal in as much as they should check reverse T3 levels etc?? Oh, and there is a family member who is NIL thryroid function since birth. [/QUOTE]
