Had a call from the hospital consultant today to go through my test results which were done after the appoint as I attened a late cancellation appointment - I actually already knew the results as a GP nurse called me about some things (and she was very pleased with the HBA1C result) last week.
He said you've reduce your reading 'slighlty' down to 47 from 53 - not any well done just a slighlty (From his tone he didn't seem impressed with a 47 number). Reported all the other result as no issues, cealiac (i know I've spelt it wrong), thyroid, kidneys, protein all good nothing wrong. But you must come get the keto test machine as you must test for ketones. When I had the actual consultation he was surprise I've never had one and I need one straight away. I did explain I have never got close to feeling unwell thinking I must do a ketone test but if you think I need one I'll have one. Clearly Ketone testing is the subject he likes. So from a 47 result we continued to talk about ketone testing. Please note I do understand it is important thing to have so that is why I will now have one.
So while the GP nurse I spoke to was well impressed with my 47 reading and made me feel great but on the other hand the same result converation with the consultant who wasn't impressed with my slight reduction into the 40s and didn't make me feel great. I have decided to ignore the consultant conversation and stick with the nurse on this one.
