Had an appointment at the YADS (young adults w/diabetes) clinic today.
It went alright - apart from nearly collapsing, went wondering off to a vending machine b/c I thought I was low ... dietician and DE caught me before I got to far... was actually 18.6mmol/l.
They're (DE & endo) are quite happy w/the way I manage my D still. Except for last, was on the phone to the DE's most of the day, forgot lantus woke up at 10.1mmol/l, ended up in the low 20 w/ 1.2 ketones on optium exceed meter.
Fasting numbers are going up slowly- increase lantus from 6-7 units, novorapid the same (doing 3.5u in the morning 2 w/lunch and 2 w/dinner).
Non - diabetes related... the endo and his registrar have agreed to admit me to hospital next week too. Been unwell since end of last yr-- w/intermittent fevers/bone pain w/it, weight loss, and very tired. GP didn't know what to do so sort of handed off the prob to the endo. Had a lot of tests done, some abnormalities, but they want to monitor me in hospital + run more tests, this time not looking for infections and autoimmune disorders as a cause.
Anyway question --> I was diagnosed with a normal HBA1c (5.5%) in September last yr, Dec it was 5.3%, Feb was 5.9%, now 6.6%. Can I expect it to increase and have a harder time keeping it down? Considering I was diagnosed rather early w/D...
