Hba1c..............37
FBG.................5.6%
Liver and kidney function.........normal
Cholesterol.................4.5 which was described as good. Didn't get a breakdown!
BP..................130/72
Weight..........11 stone 6lb.
I have a new diabetic nurse!
She described my results as very good for a diabetic!
What followed was a twenty minute talk between the two of us, explaining what RH is and how I treat it.
There followed a question and answer session in which my new dsn was very interested on understanding why I'm on a diabetic drug and the impact my food tolerances had on my health and how well I'm doing because of my dietary change. We had a chat on my history and my views on how I help my wife who has T2, and the improvements she has made because of dietary changes.
She had a very good understanding of a lower carb diet rather than very low and talked about fats, especially saturated fats. Which debated individual needs because she has celiac disease and the consequences of no fat especially saturated fats in the diet, mentioned gluten and the impact that has on dietary choices.
I mentioned fasting and my experience trial and error that I'm doing.
We finished by her saying that she is going to read up on RH, and the recommended treatments for it.
My parting shot was that what I found and experienced was a little more controversial than anything that I've read, and that my endocrinologist has acknowledged my experience so far.
The dsn replied that because of my appointment, she will have to be more open minded.
I really like these appointments
