The good news is you are prediabetic so you have a chance of not becoming a diabetic. The bad news is it is now up to you of how you are going to deal with it, you can face it head on or stick your head in the sand. Some people do not get that choice so use this as a target, getting as much information as you need is a great way to start but might shock you of how much there is. I got diabetes when i was 3 and had no choice and the thickness of all my hospital notes could need a shopping trolley to push around. I am going to tell you a little bit of what i have gone through not to scare you but to show how you must do all you can not to become a diabetic. Like i say i was 3 when i got diabetes in 1979 and was given a 50/50 chance of living but i got through that up until the age of 18 i had many stays in hospital with my diabetes. At 18 i got told i needed laser treatment on both my eyes, i had that much treatment that the last 3 sessions they knocked me out and i still hold the record for the amount of laser treatment i had. The treatment left me in pain, headaches and i had to wear sunglasses when i came out of hospital even if it waas raining as the light hurt so much but the laser treatment did not work. This meant i had 5 ops on my eyes as blood vessels at the back of the eye burst and i could not see out of which eye it was, at 21 i got the all clear happy days. Then 3 months later i sent to a renal team and told by the time i was 30 i would need a transplant my whole world came crashing down, i had already suffered from depression and it got worse. Then at 27 my hands went numb on a night and they said i had carpel tunnel in both hands another 3 ops on hands and one on the elbow. I got to 30 and my renal function was steady at 20% so then i need a insulin pump to give me better control of my diabetes but they wanted me to go on a carb counting course for 5 day i said no they said no pump. In the end 1/2 a day course was enough but the team i was under could not get my sugars right, so after 6 months i moved to a new hospital and the consultant there got it sorted in 3 weeks. At the age of 38 i had a pancreas and kidney transplant done in a 7 hour op. This brought my sugars back to normal but showed how much the diabetes had damage my body, all my nerves are shot leaving me in constant pain, my bladder is enlarged, i have trouble with my bowels and i am still under a mental health team and for the last 4 years i have been bringing my 2 kids up. This is just a quick look of what has happened and even though i have a working pancreas the damage was already done. Please take my advice and try to not become a diabetic, no one likes it. On a lighter note i have threatend to put a doctor through the window on the second floor about 18 years ago and had many a row with the people who wanted to change my diet and was on my file at my first hospital as a difficult patient but my new hospital say i am no trouble at all. you have the chance to beat diabetes now do not waste it and good luck.
