[QUOTE="L0llyp0p, post: 1644546, member: 459984"] Hello all. I'm new to the forum and this is my story. A year ago I was being investigated because hypercalcemia (high blood calcium) had shown up on some routine blood tests. My HbA1c at that time was 35. I was eventually diagnosed with hyperparathyroidism and had a benign tumour removed in July this year. A short while ago I was invited to attend a diabetes prevention programme because of that reading of 35 in Oct 2016. They tested me again and my levels are now 70. They have doubled in 12 months! My weight and eating habits haven't changed that much so I was very shocked at the rapid change. I wonder if it could be a complication of my hyperparathyroidism. As it was clear that the prevention programme was no longer suitable for me I am now waiting for an appointment with a nurse at my GP practice. I'm presuming that they will confirm a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes. Based on advise from the nutritionist on the prevention programme I want to try a low carb diet to reduce my weight (current BMI 35) in the hope that this will reverse the diabetes. I hope to learn a lot and get support from this forum in my journey so would love to get to know you Lolly [/QUOTE]
