[QUOTE="LG Hull, post: 1617341, member: 305626"] Just rang the doctors, had my hba1c last week. The result for the blood glucose has come back at 56 (2 more points than last year) everything else comes back as normal "no further action" I'm 5'11" and 14st 5lb. Last year at my review I was 13st 8lb. My diabetic nurse in Hull where live made it very clear that if I didn't get down to 12 and a half stone, she's putting me on medication that will see my HGV licence revoked. This as anyone can imagine has been very very stressful year with this in the back of my mind. The only reason I can think of, is that I stopped smoking in January this year, I haven't been eating anymore than my usual intake, I did get told though that as people get older there body metabolism slows as well. I did briefly mention what the nurse said to my doctor a few months ago, and he assured me that (in his words) there are 50 other avenues to go down before you lose your licence. I'm going in next Monday morning, and as you imagine I'm fearing the worst. Other than that, I feel absolutely great in myself, I sleep well, got lots of energy, work as the 'go to man' at work, im 52 years old, and can run rings around drivers half my age at work. Any thoughts would be gratefully received. Thanks in advance. Les [/QUOTE]
