Made a new account as I’d like to keep this information separate from my main account.
As the post says above, I’ve recently been diagnosed with diabetes and I’m looking for the best specialist/hospital combination available in Bangkok.
Here is a quick summary of what’s happened so far:
Sudden diabetic symptoms mid December. Peeing through night, and blurred vision.
Went in for blood work at Samitivej. Fasted blood sugars 286, a1c 9.6%.
Been on metformin 500 mg x2 daily since Dec 23.
Moderate low to low carb diet.
Healthy weight and extremely active lifestyle.
Blood sugars under control at the moment, in non diabetic range.
Tested positive for anti GAD so Doctor said it’s likely I have LADA Diabetes.
Blood tests taken at Samitivej:
LDLs 186. Healthy triglyceride and HDL levels. Healthy blood pressure.
MRI shows no fatty pancreas or liver.
Next scheduled test: C peptide.
There is nothing particularly wrong with the Doctor I am currently seeing but as I will need to manage this condition for the rest of my life I’d like to start a relationship with the best Specialist, ideally one that is up to speed on all the best practices in managing this specific version of diabetes.
Thank you in advance for your help.
