Just had my telephone appointment. Consultant was lovely and very supportive and listened to what I wanted to say . HbA1c is 52 which is a bit higher than I would like but he was very happy with it and said that he is giving me a big pat on the back and not to be too much of a perfectionist. Great news is that cholesterol is down to 4.5 (from 4.8) despite eating rather enormous amounts of saturated fats
😱 from cheese and cream and fatty meat and trigs were 1.36 so again he is very happy with that and so am I. He said blood results were all good so I assume my binge drinking the night before the blood test
😳didn't show me up on my liver function and therefore I didn't have to confess to it as a means of explaining a duff result. I promise I don't make a habit of it.... but I did rather enjoy it!
He is marking me down for an appointment in 6 months time so I am not written off the books just yet which I am pleased about and I had the choice of telephone or in person. I opted for whatever was easiest for him. Libre 2 will happen as and when the GP changes the prescription but he thinks it may take a little while to go through the system. I am not in any hurry so, apart from getting sorted with a Libre 2 reader from Abbott, it will happen when it happens.
All in all he is extremely happy with my progress and therefore I guess I have to be too although my personal goal is to get HbA1c a little lower next time.
