[QUOTE="HSSS, post: 2391527, member: 480869"] Yesterday I had the dubious experience of an ambulance ride to hospital for non diabetic issues (fortunately scary stuff ruled out and I’m home). All hcp were great at looking after me on this issue but it has also identified a few more worrying things that I’m grumpy enough due to pain to whinge about today. First the paramedic taking my history was surprised as a T2 diabetic I wasn’t on insulin. Do they really all think every diabetic is on insulin? What do they teach them? Then today I was notified via the hospital records app of my discharge note. In taking a look at that I noticed the last hb1ac I had a few weeks back was resulted twice on consecutive days. With different results ! So I message my surgery, that has only one result, explaining and asking about the duplication and what had happened. I just got a text back from a dr just giving me the result they have and telling me 45mmol is in the diabetic range but not too bad! Last time I checked it was prediabetic and diabetic range starts at 48 and better than many t2. Worrying he doesn’t seem to know this and that he also totally failed to comprehend the request. I’ve had to repeat the message trying to get to the bottom of the duplicate results as he failed to answer the question actually asked or doesn’t care about inaccurate results [/QUOTE]
