Well the Diabetes Education Class, tutor taught us lot, and I have been exceptionally careful with my diet. I have been studying it in great detail. I have lost weight from around 14 stone to 11stone 4Ibs, and my blood pressure has gone down from being regularly in the 140 systolic range to between 110--133 --so I felt so much had improved and fallen in to the right places! Then today, I spoke to the receptionist and got this reading of '119'!!!What did the Diabetes education group advise?
I feel I might just as well have continued to enjoy myself, stuffed myself with Mars Bars, and thrown the green smoothies in the bin!Well the Diabetes Education Class, tutor taught us lot, and I have been exceptionally careful with my diet.

My HbA1c was 51, and fasting glucose using Accu chek blood glucose system was Sept 2018, 7.2/8/1 or similar. And Hb was, in 3 month intervals, as I say 51, 52, 57, until this week when it is either 119 or 11.9 of an HbA1c system of some kind!? I am going to see my doctor on thursday. I got this latter info from the receptionist.What did you change your diet to? And from? Any chance you started eating things like porridge or whole grains?
On what basis did they decide you were type 2 originally, although your avatar says prediabetic those earlier numbers are low diabetic ones. Do you take meds?
That is what I am hoping.....Of course, they might have got your blood sample mixed up with someone else's.
Yes, thank you. I was having a read about this LADA thing earlier this evening so was interested to see your reference to it here. I am seeing my doctor on Thursday to discuss this unexpected result! However, have just done my glucose (using Accu chek blood glucose system), and it was 27.9! --------post prandial...? Now the strips have an expiry date of December 2018, and think the machine needs checking to and will get new strips and do so tomorrow. But this anyway, looks similar to the meaning at any rate of 119 on the HbA1c..?I think you need to speak to your doctor/nurse/whoever normally deals with your reviews. I am not a doctor, but in my humble opinion either you were originally misdiagnosed as T2 and you are LADA (late onset T1) or your blood sample was faulty in some way and needs doing again, and quickly, to confirm matters. Mistakes are made - too often.
Do you have any means to test your ketones? How are you feeling?
That is a really high number and I’d be at the very least calling 111 for some advice
thanks for this, I have drunk some water and will have some more....I have phoned 111. spoke to the 'nurse' (she said she was) who did not even know what HbA1c is! They asked me lots of questions, tick box like, categories, impossible to answer!...and a doctor will ring me back within the next 6 hours. That's nice. Its 00.51 hours. I hope I get some sleep tonight!!Illness will push numbers up.
How long after your meal did you test? 90mins or more? What was the meal? Possibly a daft question but did you wash hands etc first?
I dont want to scare you but if your numbers really are that high and you also have high ketones then dka is a risk and that can be incredibly serious. Don’t eat anything with any carbs right now and drink plenty of water. Phone and ask them what they advise as we aren’t medics on here.
