Had to be seen by Dr yesterday as I felt really ill - I'm waiting to have a scan now :( So, no, it wasn't anything to do with diabetes.

I had a phase of IBS about 20 years ago whilst stressed so I'm pretty sure it isn't that - and I'm glad as its horrible! Good luck with yours.

I know I should keep on top it .. I just get busy with work and if I'm not feeling ill tend to forget about it (although I am still watching what I eat). I'll get print outs of readings and find out when I'm supposed to have bloods again. I will get a meter too ... just remembered actually that...

No worries - I am seeing the doctor. Not that I'm convinced it'll do me much good - oh for a good doctor! At least I have confirmation now it isn't diabetes symptom so I won't let them fob me off. Problem with this pre diabetes is that you tend to blame everything on it and forget other stuff...

Hi I'm pre-diabetes and seem to have been doing OK controlling with diet so far. Last bloods were late Dec I think and Dr didn't ring so assume they were ok. I can't find lower abdominal pain as a symptom anywhere - just checking if anyone knows if it is? I've had this intermittently for...

Thanks - yes it helps! My optician said they only do bi focal lens - I'll have to try one of the bigger chains. £35 isn't cheap but I paid £400 for my last varifocal glasses so its not that bad - especially if I get to the stage where my prescription changes regularly. I've been thinking...

Thanks both of you :) Nurse did say that ... but I've done quite well with diet as I can see some differences already. And I don't really know what I'm doing yet either :? So hopefully I can fend it off forever ... You may have a point about the water .. I do get busy and don't drink much...

I haven't got a meter. I'm due to have bloods done Tues morning so I'm waiting to see what that says.

Hi all I'm pre-diabetic and currently trying to sort with diet, which has helped a lot. I'm a secretary so on a screen all day. In the afternoons my eyesballs have started to ache - there is a word for it that optician used but I've forgotten it. I thought I needed new glasses (despite only...

oh and I'll ask the GP when I see him after these next set of bloods, but would I be T2 pre-diabetes as well?

Thanks for reply Jamrox! you sound very similar to me. I have egg mayo on brown and a small bag of the mixed grapes/apple for lunch. I used to eat lots of bananas but see on here its probably not good for me now. I need meals to be quick as I get home from work late, I've been replacing...

Just looked up what a hypo is .. I've had all those symptoms over the past 2 years. thought I was starting the menopause! :crazy:

Thanks, I'll look at it, reeling a bit from diet sheets and info I've seen on here. Plus from what I've seen, different things seem to work for different people.

Thanks for reply. I'm not currently very underweight, size 10 now. But I probably was 2 years ago when the dizziness first started (size 6/8) as I lost a lot of weight and seemed to have a thyroid problem - but by the time the GP tested it the second time, it was showing normal and as I put...

Hi all I was diagnosed with prediabetes 3 months ago and have been trying to sort with diet and am due for next bloods next week. I tested main test at 7.2 twice I think. The HBA1C test I had 3 months ago was 5. BUT I'd had a really ill period just before it and wondered if it was diabetes...
