[QUOTE="LondonC24, post: 2526726, member: 555684"] Hey, so I did the bloods when I had symptoms and still continue to have symptoms now- in all honesty, I never went to the dr with my symptoms because I thought I was just overworked as I am a student nurse, so have uni, placement, work, gym etc. I have never tested positive for covid but believe I had it during the first lockdown before the tests were available as I worked in community services- I have had all 3 of my vaccines. My vaccines were way before my HbA1c. They did a full blood test so have done my hormones (my sister has hypothyroidism and mum has close levels), blood count, etc. Had the ketone test at the drs which also showed ketones in my urine. My levels were low before taking metformin, I haven't seen a change in my finger prick tests because they were never high to begin with. Which is also making it hard for me to know what carbs to cut etc because I don't see high readings after eating! My other worry is that they tested the my hba1c in may and I have only now just received this diagnosis 3 months later after hearing nothing from my gp so I'm worried about how my bloods have been affected in the meantime without any treatment if I do actually have diabetes.
