Very pleased with my new result but still questioning my original March result of 44. When I got that first result I started testing but only found banana to be a problem (30 mg at breakfast) that took me from 5.5 to 8.2 2 hrs later when mixed with shredded wheat. I started wearing a libre 2 to get a full picture and had an estimated HBA1c of 32. After 3 months I decided to repeat my test privately and it is 32 which is what all my blood testing suggested. The only change to my diet has been cutting out banana, and I have just come back from a 2 week holiday where I ate pasta, croissants ice cream etc and my libre 2 results barely moved from averaging 5.5 to 5.6. My recent sample was taken after my holiday. I am a healthy weight, normal BMI, but was only a few pounds overweight back in March. The result in March was given to me via a telephone call from the health care assistant my Dr never contacted me and I am now wondering if she was sat with a pile of lab results calling people and accidentally gave me someone else’s result. The drop from 44 to 32 seems unlikely given I am still on the same low carb diet I was on previously (barring holidays) and my testing immediately after the result of 44 was not showing the glucose levels that would give rise to a result of 44. Any thoughts? As far as I’m aware I didn’t have an infection when the first test was done.
