A 2nd test week confirmed a level of 11 which had gone down from 11.5 the week before ( I had immediately started excising and improved my diet... the GP had said I needed to loose weight). I had no symptoms of diabetes I had removed sugar from my diet about 2 years ago after loosing weight and wanting to keep it off . A visit to the practice nurse and I was given 3 leaflets told to not eat more than 50g of carbs a meal and prescribed Metabet SR 500g for 2 weeks increasing to 1000g . She also said I should go onto statins when I was used to the metabet...My blood pressure was fine.. and cholesterol was 4.2.. my feet were checked and I was told I would be receiving details of a Desmond clinic . I have bought the carbs and calorie counter from Diabetes UK and started to read on here ..and I have also started to record my food intake and my exercise its all a bit of a whirl really ... any advice is really welcome I don't no how long till I see the Desmond people but the nurse suggested it would be the New Year [/QUOTE]
