Hi,
I wondered if anyone could offer some advice please?
I was diagnosed in 2020. Hba1c was 50. I lost 2 stone and 3 months later it was done to 32. Receptionist gave me the results and said the doctor was happy. I, little by little slipped back into my old way of eating. 1 year later my hba1c was 50 again. I logged into my medical file and got the results. No call from doctor of any advice. The beginning of the year I wasn't feeling well so had my hba1c done again and it had gone up to 73. Got these results online again and again no hears from the doctors since.
I'm really struggling to manage my weight and am unsure as to whether I should be on medication or not. I'm scared all this time my BS has been high, the damage it is doing.
I know that only I can make the changes and I'm trying really hard but I'm so scared I won't be able to do it. I crave all the wrong food and am really struggling after years of eating one way to make the right changes.
Any advice on medication? At what levels were people put on meds.
Thanks
