Really sorry you’re having such a tough time at the minute, your FBG has gone up but still good, when do you next have another a1c & how many times a day are you testing?Thanks for the support Debbie, much appreciated.
I have noticed though that I'm back to multiple trips to the toilet at night now that I'm on statins, FBG is up by 1 mmol in the mornings. Could be worse, but I will keep an eye on it. So I am definitely producing less insulin while I'm taking them, the body is doing the best it can to remove excess BG without the insulin. The trouble is that you can't get the specific tests done that you need to see what is really going on. Also a lot of research suggests that high insulin + high LDL cholesterol is the real driver of cardiovascular disease. Let's see how the blood tests look in a few months. I have a feeling I may have to go really really low carb to keep things in control.
Agree about 2 shorter workouts. Does have a good effect. Probably much better for us with our sedentary jobs too. Not good to be sat at a desk all day long. Happens more when you work from home.
Going to leave treadmill hunt till daughter gets back from skiing,Cheers Debbie.
Next A1C is 2 months away.
Good idea about the 14 day trial of Libre, I'll do that.
Enjoy the gym.
I've got a break in meetings now so I'm going to squeeze in a quick bodyweight workout .. maybe get another burpee and kettlebell one in later this evening,
How's the new treadmill working out?
Oh wow!! That's great.Hi
20 minutes on Peleton & 4.9, too short a workout really
Consultant has rang me back, he’s sending me a letter & I’ve got to go to Lincoln hospital for genetic testing for MODY & told to only take the gliclazide if blood sugar goes up, which is what I’m doing anyway & I’m not allowed to hypo
Blood sugar averages over 24 hours a day look really good but don’t take into account the highs & lows
Can’t believe he’s spoken to my DSN & gone through medical records & libre on the same day & rang me back, seriously impressed
Hope you’ve had a good day
Very nearly the weekend now
I was really surprised too, he couldn’t believe I’d never even been offered medication before last May as a1c has been up & down for yearsOh wow!! That's great.
Sometime's you get a really good consultant who wants to get a good result for their patients and explores every avenue they can. I'm delighted to hear that.
OMG though regarding the genetic testing! How come they hadn't done that already?! Great that this consultant is on the case.
Thankfully you had a good DSN!! OMG a GP with special interest in diabetes!! Not that much of a special interest, and too much of a GP hat on still - and not enough specialist experience. Really good that you have a proper consultant now who is going to test for it. If it is MODY at least they will find out now and adapt your treatment plan. Sorry that you had to go through all that. Exasperating! But finally you are being seen by a proper specialist. That is really good news.I was really surprised too, he couldn’t believe I’d never even been offered medication before last May as a1c has been up & down for years
Saw a doctor at local hospital (gp with special interest in diabetes) twice last summer & said both times something didn’t add up but dishcharhed me as an oddity & not diabetic at all, DSN kept saying are you sure you’re taking the right dose & eating what’s in your food diary, think that’s why she put me on libre & said I had to stay on it until they found out what was going on
Someone on this forum suggested MODY last year & when I mentioned it to nurse & she did a calculation it was over 3times higher than when they test for it, then finding out my dad (also thin)was on the verge of being diabetic before he died
Still might not be that think the probability is nearly 80% now)
