Brilliant. Thank you so much

Oh wow I'm so relieved now! Thanks for your reply bluetit. Everything makes more sense now. I do definitely need to lose weight (probably around 3 stone) I've lost around one so far. Plus the doctor was concerned I carry a lot around my waist. I'm really on it now, I've totally changed my...

Just found my glucose tolerance test.. It reads ; Fasting - 7.0 2 hours - 9.8

Hi all Got my blood test results from October. My cholesterol was 5.3 Liver function was 51 HBa1c result was 51 (it says repeat blood test and diabetes diagnosis underneath) My Serum Testosterone level showed at 2.2 (raised) And it said thyroid - normal, no treatment. I haven't got the...

The blood tests were all done at the end of October when I had an appointment because I was constantly feeling unwell. I had repeat tests on my blood sugar in mid Nov as they came back raised then i had the two hour fasting test after that and was diagnosed with T2D on the 1st Dec. Just...

Hi Everyone. Daisy, thanks so much for that information, it's really helpful. Brunneria - I just got off the phone to my doctors surgery and they are printing off all the blood test results that I had done in October. They will be ready for collection later today. I'll be back when I've...

Ah I didn't know that either.. Blimey it's a mine field. I've been burying my head in the sand with everything, it's time to start finding out where I stand with my health. I'll be back to update on how I get on. I can't thank you all enough for your help.

Bluetit - i have a B12 deficiency which was diagnosed 2 years ago.. They said that was borderline but I was suffering severe symptoms from that.. The whole of my left side went numb. I'm on regular injections for that and it's under control now but that was another borderline that needed picking...

Bluetit, I really hope so. I had my bloods taken for a lot of things including my hormones which they say came back normal readings. The confusing part is I have been told I may have a touch of PCOS and i definitely have symptoms so I don't know how my hormones came back normal. I really need...

Jay-Marc that makes sense.. When I asked what metformin do she said. 'They are just to help your body tolerate sugars a bit better' None of it seemed that serious or panic stations at the time, it felt more like a warning to lose weight and here's some tablets to help. It's only because my...

Thanks everyone for the replies. I will find out what my levels were, I think I was too scared to face it at first, now I'm getting my head round it all and want to know the ins & outs. My GP is a little blasé, she said not to worry about it and look at it as a good thing (as in changing my...

hello everyone. I was diagnosed type 2 diabetes at the beginning of December following the two hour fasting test. I suspect I have also PCOS due to symptoms I have (the GP agreed) and have been put on Metformin 500mg x 1 per day. I've no idea what my readings were or are, I don't think it...
