[QUOTE="Hornet's Nest, post: 1427677, member: 392245"] Hi - my 1st post here, very pleased to have found this group. I went to my GP a couple of weeks back as I'd been feeling generally unwell (not severe) and had some concerns about my circulation as I often wake up with tingling in my fingers and I've suffered from temple pressure for many years. She did the bloodwork and when I went back she said I was Vit D deficient and had slightly elevated blood sugars indicating pre-diabetes. I was prescribed the Vit D and told to come back for impaired fasting glucose test which I did last Tue (fasting blood test, glucose drink, another blood test after 2hrs).. So I phoned in today and the receptionist told me all my bloods are normal and that no other action is needed. Whilst I am relived to a degree I still have the symptoms I went in with but in the meantime have decided to adopt a low sugar diet. I am bot overly heavy and keep reasonably fit cycling every other day for 10miles in the summer - in the winter I am rather lazy. Is it worth me home testing my blood sugars say once a week and if so should they be 1st thing in the morning? [/QUOTE]
