Blood Test Results
I returned to the Doctor's last night to get my blood test results and the usual suspect ones came up - thyroid borderline - test in another 3 months - bicarbonates and electrolytes all high - due to one of my medications - hormones - all over the place - need to up the medication I am on but I declined as I am managing as I am, but it is good to know if symptoms get worse I have an option so she was fine with that.
Hb1AC was 6.7 so that was a relief in one sense but an increase from the last one - last one was 5.9 and the one before that was 5.6. This time there was only 2 months between the test due to it being a new doctor etc she wanted everything repeated now instead of waiting another month. So the honeymoon is slowly coming to an end and she wants me sometime soon to do a week of testing religiously quite a few times a day to get an accurate record of what is going on as I have had some very high readings. Test again in three months time and if things have gone crazy before that time, then come back and she will call the Endocrinologist and do a phone consult over the phone in her office.
I really thought she was going to put me straight back on the insulin, but thankfully we are going to leave it a bit longer and see how things go......just means I need to get back into the swing of things and start taking things seriously and testing regularly and not just when I feel like it or feel funny.....

Yeah testing.....ummmmmm don't yell at me but once every two weeks I do a fasting one and then later in the day I do another one two hours after having a main meal. I do others if I feel funny which for me means that I am running high or if the two week result is a bit off....
Take Care
