Hi all.
I hope no one minds, but i feel i am among friends..
friends who share my fears, my desire, and who perhaps know a few more things about me perhaps,
then even those close to me do..
I've been 'off ' since tuesday.
moods just been 'odd'..if that makes sense..
As you may or may not know, i had my latest HBA1c check up on monday.
Oh, what a disaster....nothing seemed to go right...
Anyway after two days of feeling like this, i ended up calling NHS Direct..
lovely lady answered, asked a few symptoms,
"Diabetic '..yes
"Type 2 ' Yes
'Confusion.? '.yes
'Mood swing ?' yes
and a few personal details age, weight etc
She then ran through a few things that MAY be causing it, and then we hit the HBA1c tests on THAT monday.
She asked what i'd been eating, so i slowly told her, as she hummed, and ahhed, at each mention of my food week.
in the end i felt SO awful, i just broke down and rold her straight..I'M following the LCHF diet....agghh
:***:
i was stammering, felt myself going redder, and redder, i even started getting a little choked at the shame of it all
Bless her, she gave me a moment to compose myself..( very friendly if i'm honest.)
She then ran through the problems..my HBA1c was OFF the charts..she had rarely seen anything like it.
I know people have a negative attitude about the phone-lines, but she WAS a godsend.
She patiently explained in words a layman such as myself could easily understand.
"The clinics made a mistake, book another appointment asap" was here main gist.
(gone on line already, booked in for next tuesday, 11am )
She not only stayed on the line, she then told me a few things to do in the meantime to get my scores back to normal
for a person such as myself and at my age & bmi...
I've not long hung up, So once i just stopping my legs from trembling so much, i'm off to tesco's to get some....
'White bread, jam, margarine, family packet of cornflakes, a bunch of bananas and 2 large pineapples for the fruit, low fat milk and yoghurts.
and then i'm off to find a greggs,
apparently (i didn't really understand it all
), but i'm missing a lot of starch in my diet.
pastries/cakes highly recommended...( GP's eat them by the bucketload, according to
@Debandez )
Oh i almost forgot the HBA1c score...a jaw dropping, shock inducing 42....
(yep, i was shocked as well..dangerously low ...apparently..
but eating the correct way,
i'll soon get that back into the high 50's low 60's again.
)
Take care all.
love you all, so HUG the ones YOU love.. TODAY.
(go on, i KNOW you read it..Now go DO IT ..XXX )
