Hi all,
I have just got back from the docs, my hba1c was 9.8, and my other number which I didnt understand was 48. The doc says that because it is 48 that indicates a t2 diagnosis...but I thought the 9.8 was the more significant number so I am a bit confused why she didn't really comment on that at all.
I was given the option of Metformin but am unsure whether I want to take it so have been asked to go back in 2 weeks with my decision. I have been prescribed Ramipril for high blood pressure, and she has asked me to have an ECG and liver function and cholestral bloods next week.
She suggested that my pancreas was damaged during a gall bladder/pancreas infection in 2016 and as a result of 2 years of keto diet. Unsure about that personally....I never felt better and only stopped because of the gall bladder surgery and never getting back to it.
What do you think about the diagnosis? Surely 48 is barely borderline and doesn't need meds? Would it have been higher if I had breakfast on the morning of the test? I hadn't eaten for 14 hours beforehand....Or should I be more focussed on the 9.8?
Thanks all
