Well phone from GP repeat bloods as WBC and CRP raised more than he would like - did I have an infection? Well when you have allergies and fibro....its one long runny nose after the other! I would not know if I had cold or just plain allergies!
But the HbA1C which was 96 in October when diagnosed is now 42! So much so that he is already considering if in fact I have reversed it already. Thinks maybe I was prediabetic after all and a bit extra weight plus an dental infection had pushed it over the threshold....and now three month later with 26 lb off and a low carb diet.... thinks its reversed...I did not think it could be done so fast...GP said he had to do a double take himself! Never heard a doctor so excited...except he still was kind of saying just goes to show if you watch what you eat and excercise more what you can do....that wound me up...when I see him I will remind him not to stereotype people... even my fibro he said can be down to weight...err no...actually I was a size 8 and was in a car accident!...but don't worry I will raise this matter...doctors HAVE to stop burying their heads in the sand about how drugs can impact on peoples metabolism and weight....the clinical papers are there to read as plain as your face.It is time to stop blaming every patient for there weight or metabolic disorder!
So face to face meeting next week to review the meds. Perhaps take me off them all he said.
