I'm sure they will drop by later on. It sounds like a great sport and way to exercise.Well done on the carb changes - it sounds like you may need to increase fats and proteins to replace energy you need for cycling and everything else. Others here can advise on details.For now, you might need to reduce your cycling a bit, until you have found out more about the anaemia and made some more food changes to help your energy levels. I'm not confident the dietician will give you the latest advice on carbs but I could be wrong, you never know. Most of them give outdated advice about carbs and fats that does not help prediabetics prevent becoming diabetic.It's a good idea to ask for a printed copy or online access to your blood test results. The actual number is much more useful to you than "fine" or "low." Anaemia may affect HbA1c (diabetes) test results, so your GP may need to order a different kind of blood test at the lab. In my personal experience, it's also important to treat anaemia as early as you can with iron supplements, since it can take a long time to build up iron stores again. Hopefully your GP can advise.</blockquote>
