So went for an appointment today and have been told they will be putting me on insulin because. One my overall blood test result went up and I've been losing weight...well I've been losing weight because I've been training a lot. I've been jogging to work and working out every night which I told them but they ignored and my blood glucose levels are totally fine. Heck at times they've been to low. Since testing I've never seen a number higher than 8 in my tests and that includes sickness and Christmas, birthdays etc. my problem is if they put me on insulin that could cause me serious problems because even right mow at nights after my training I've been getting readings of 3s and at the very extreme 2. So if I start taking insulin on top of that I'm in trouble. I of course told them exactly this but they dismissed it saying that those readings can be inaccurate and maybe it's higher when I'm not checking it...genuinely don't understand this. I have no symptoms I'm not going to the toilet me I've got loads of energy and feel great.
Yes I would also want to know your HbA1c which tells about the average of blood glucose for the last 3-4 month , I would asume that that is too High.
When blood glucose is higher than 6.5 in average one is too High , when number most of the time is higher than 7.5 mmol thats where the more fatal damage will be done over time , But still that different from one person to the other How fast or slow ones body will be moreserverely damaged ...
Note that it is the green area that is the Healthy normal level you can also see where the HbA1c should idealy be
