My GP used a blood sugar level (Accucheck) monitor to get an initial reading of 47. He admitted me immediately to the ICU.  Blood tests including HbA1c were only conducted in the ICU to my knowledge in addition to full body CT scans (I was at this stage severely under weight and hadn't slept or eaten for 2 weeks, so my memory is still not the best).  I have re-read my notes as at time of admission to and discharge from the hospital ICU as follows (I hope these make sense):The specialist's summary quotes "Pancreatic atrophy, calcification and ductal dilation are likely sequelae of chronic pancreatitis. His notes also state that there was a revised level of BSL of 39 after 2 days. eGFR is noted as 69 mL/min/1.73m (?)Final blood test (am assuming HbA1C since nurse monitoring during stay using finger prick fell to around 9) continued to decrease reaching acceptable levels necessary for discharge.  Sorry if this is a bit over the top but I only have discharge notes to go by since my mental state was not good prior to and during early stages of admission.  Each qtly blood work my GP has been pleased with my HbA1c staying within normal tolerances.Cheers, rafcosford</blockquote>
