Very Ape - Nirvana

Blood test 21 July 2021.
Haemoglobin A1c level 7.4 % [4.0 - 5.9] Haemoglobin A1c level - IFCC standardised 57 mmol/mol [20.0 - 41.0]
Diagnosed Type 2 on 5 August 2021
No meds at the moment.
Second blood test 7 October 2021
Haemoglobin A1c level 6.5 % [4.0 - 5.9] Haemoglobin A1c level - IFCC standardised 48 mmol/mol [20.0 - 41.0]
Weight at diagnosis: 160 pounds (72.5kg)
Weight at last check: 141 pounds (63.9kg) - into healthy weight finally !!! 140 pounds (63.5kg) 135.5 pounds (61.46kg) 135 pounds (61.23kg)
Next check-up due in April 2022 - or maybe not ....

RESULT from online records 25.05.2022: Haemoglobin A1c level - IFCC standardised (XaPbt) 45 mmol/mol - this, I presume, puts me back down into the PRE-diabetic range!

....................................
Also have:
COPD (Use Ventolin and Clenil), High Blood Pressure, Hay Fever, Fruit allergy, Weak tendon in arm, Damaged coccyx. Low platelets - Update: I've now been told the level is near normal now - maybe due to all the steroids I've had to take since December
Many food intolerances such as white processed bread (due to yeast not having enough time to make product edible before being baked), olive oil, peppermint oil, raw tomatoes, oranges - the list seems to grow continuously...... add on another type of hay fever med and lettuce
