I’ve just had a conversation with the GP receptionist, the next diabetes nurse appointment is in December [emoji15] I’ve decided to go and see my GP, especially as the appointment is so far away.

Brilliant, thanks for the advice [emoji4]

I’ve decided I’m going to forget all the knowledge I thought I knew and learn things afresh for myself. It’s different when you are on the other side [emoji4]

That’s great news [emoji4]

I think it will take a little time to sort my meals, I stay in hotels with work a couple of nights a week. I’m in a hotel tonight...guess it’s eggs and bacon at least for breakfast in the morning [emoji4]

Thank you, it’s great to hear how you got things under control...gives me hope

So here I am...I promised i would share my results when they available. I’ve been skulking around the forums here for two weeks [emoji4] I had a second round of bloods last week after my initial HbA1c (I was told I needed two test to diagnose). My first result was 57 and the one last week was...

Thank you [emoji4] I doubt mine will come back normal. I found out I have been prediabetic for 2 years and no one at my GP surgery told me!
