Had my first 3 month Diabetic review with GP today. He said if he gave out stickers to adults I would get the biggest best one ever!! I've got my HbA1c down from 103/ 11.6% to 51/ 7.0 in just over 3 months whilst on steroids & with Exercise Induced Anaphylaxis!! I know I've some way to go but am still very pleased.
Slight 'fly in the ointment' my consultant Immunologist has put me on immuno- suppressants so that they can attempt to reduce my steroids. Trouble is, one of the many horrible side-effects is a possible blood sugar level rise!!
Really bad & very ironic (don't think you can have very ironic but never mind?!!) thing this morning was when I asked the GP could I now have testing strips prescribed because I'd shown how well I could do with testing & low carbing- he said no, now that my levels were so good he could never justify giving them to me now?!!! Arghhh!!!!
