[QUOTE="BeccaJaneStClair, post: 335293, member: 42805"] *sigh* I was in for a blood test, and I glanced at the nurses' screen because she couldn't find a December review in the system (even tho I had written it down on my calendar "make appt in Dec" and the diabetic nurse told me she wanted to see me in Dec at my June appt) Under my annual review date (in March) it says "if result still normal, mark as" and then it was a word starting with an R, but I can't remember what the word was, but the basic jist of it was that my GP was going to call me "cured" in March if I still have a normal HBA1c. My HBA1c was 36 in June after being 50 when I was diagnosed in March and in both September and November it was 34 (Sept and Nov done for pre-conception clinic). The pre-conception nurse told me that it takes five years of consistent normal range HBA1c results to be dropped down to a pre-diabetes diagnosis and 10 years to be considered "medically cured", but she didn't feel it would happen to me because I do plan on (hopefully!) having a baby within the next few years and she said that would probably push things up again. So my question is, why is this note in my file with the GP office signed "per MH" (MH is the initials of my GP)? It's bad enough he told me he can't give me Metformin or Clomid for my PCOS and I have been waiting for a referral to a Gyn, but now he might class me as non-diabetic? Will that mess with my appointments with the pre-conception clinic if my file doesn't say I'm diabetic? And aren't I still diabetic even with low HBA1c results? [/QUOTE]
