Hi
Just wondering if anyone can offer some advice?
I was diagnosed type 2 middle of January with HbA1c of 96 !
Was put on 4 x metformin slow release and was due my 1st blood test and review in april. Obviously with covid this never went ahead.
When diagnosed I found this group and still use it for guidance on a daily basis. I have been on a very low carb diet had no bread pasta rice ever since diagnosis. Make all my own low carb alternatives etc.
Anyhow, 5 weeks ago I finally had my blood test and have been calling my surgery weekly to be told the results hadn’t come back and that a diabetic nurse would call me when they had as to arrange a review.
I test my blood sugars throughout the day every day and my estimate HbA1c is between 5.6/5.7
Today I had a call from the receptionist to say that my results were back and said they were normal, I asked her to elaborate to which she told me I could go and collect a print out. I have just collected the print out which states I am 39 mmol and says non diabetic range.
I asked if I could book and appointment with diabetic nurse to be told that she is inundated at the moment and working through all the reviews.
I gradually stopped taking my metformin back at the end of May due to the sickness etc that it was causing and didn’t feel I could call my gp surgery as they haven’t been the best. I haven’t taken any metformin since the first week of June.
Anyhow, after that long story, I was someone would be able to give some advice on whether I would now be considered as non diabetic as that is what it says on the print out ?
Thanks
Becky
