[QUOTE="Westwood_30, post: 1395058, member: 381850"] I am a bit annoyed, I went to GP last September because I felt tired and was having general feeling of lack lustre. I had a full blood screen- They invited me back for the results- I really thought I had some type of diabetes because of the way I was feeling- they told me I was lacking in Vitamin D and had high cholestrol. I took the 3 mth course of vitamin D which helped with my leg pains. I tried to change some aspects of my diet but that has slipped again recently. They said my blood sugar was fine in September 2016 at a level of 5.6mmol - I have today received a letter from the GP stating that my sugar levels are above the normal accepted levels previously set at 6.1mmol- something to do with the American Diabetic Society lowering the safe blood sugar levels,I am now considered to be prediabetic. So now I face my fears of what I thought was wrong in the first place, only it has been delayed by 6 mths- change diet, stop smoking, stop drinking, more exercise etc. I could have made these changes earlier- but hey better start now. Better late than never. [/QUOTE]
