What has that got to do with toast?I went into hospital a week early for a preop, taking weight, height, urine sample and stuff, in preparation to do an umbilical hernia repair.
when it came to a quick finger prick blood test the nurse said oops! Let me do it again, wash your hands and I’ll do a different finger. Did that and she then said I need to get your urine sample checked. 10 minutes later said she has just cancelled my operation as I’m too ill to operate on. Apparently I was extremely hyperglycaemic diabetic with an HbA1c reading of 146. Well that didn’t mean owt to me, but every doctor I saw within the next couple of weeks were amazed I had no symptoms, not tired, not overweight etc. If you’re normal the reading should be 46 or below. It took 9 months to get me down to a level where they could knock me out and operate. That was nearly 4 years ago, I’m going in for my 6 months update on Monday.
Please stay on subject.
