...left me feeling a little low.
BP was 130/91 - they weren't too concerned as for me on a clinic day that IS good. Heart rate left a lot to be desired 132 BPM - they put it down to being there. Will get my urine results from my GP in a weeks time as to kidney function etc. All my other bloods were fine.
HbA1c was up 8.9 - left me feeling annoyed as it meant I couldn't discuss starting a family of my own! BUT...they have agreed to have me in to see my nurse and have in between HbA1Cs to see how i'm progressing. Also they have told me about a new meter that sadly I can't have as it isn't available on the NHS and the sensors would cost £100 a month to buy. But my nurse is going to trial me on it for 2 weeks - going to see if she can stretch it to a month to see if we can see what is going on. So i'm hoping I'll get answers from that. Tea time Carbs:Insulin Ratio needs tweeked so will work on that, need to do a few checks through the night until Tuesday. Need to also decide whether or not I trust my Levemir through the night and not have to snack if my BM is at a certain level.
Also had my finger lanced - don't ask but WOW the needle was mahoosive!!
So thats me for another 4 months and will see how much more work is required in due course. I will get there slowly but surely. I can't fault my team really...and I have been given a green light to go on the organ donor register too so that is the best part of my day!
