My doctor ordered another HbA1c coz of my higher numbers.

So, I have been done by the nurse this morning...😱

I am now one armful (it felt like it as I really hate needles) lighter of the red stuff. I hope it is red as I didn't open my eyes till it had been hidden.

Jolly Hocky Sticks the really nice nurse has left so I got the new nurse who wasn't keen on using a black needle. Black needles are finer and hurt far less. Anyway, back to the story...

So the last one three months ago was 7.2%. I'm gonna kick off with 8%.

Seconds out...
 
I'll go with 7.6%
 
I'm going to go 7.4%
 
I'll go with 7.8 - good luck 🙂
 
I will go for 7.7
 
my guess is 7.9 🙂
 
I will go with a maintain Tez good luck
 
I'll go with a tidy 7.0 seeing as all the other numbers have been taken. Good luck Tez, fingers crossed. XXXXX
 
7.3% best of luck Tez! 🙂
 
Just an update.

I got home to a letter from the surgery asking me to see the doctor about the blood test.

I'll have to wait till Monday for the results...

**** happens eh?

Tez hope it goes ok, try not to think to negativly, fingers crossed
 
Hope it goes okay for you Tez 🙂
 
Better getting it all checked out Tez. I have no idea which way your numbers are going to go, would hope for a maintain but you seem to think you are going to go over 8 - here's hoping you are being pessimistic but if the doc is calling you back ...

Good luck!

Hopefully it's just a standard letter - I got a callback for a HbA1c of 6.6 because it was above the 6.5% target. That was just standard procedure, not someone specifically requested by my Doctor.
 
I phoned up for my results. Lipids high (whatever they are) and no HbA1c result back till tomorrow.😡

I tried to make an appointment to see the nurse. There was a note on the receptionists computer to get me to go straight to the doctor.😱

So I see him tomorrow at 5.30pm...😱
 
Lipids are cholesterol and triglycerides Tez, sounds like they may want to put you on a statin. Hope the appt goes well. 🙂
