About 9 months ago i was diagnosed with diabetes with a level of 7.1 and went on the recommended food requirements to control this. I was given a testing kit by my gp and found that my sugar levels were in the 5's and low 6's.
Prior to the last 3 month blood test I ate what i wanted and had sugary foods before competing in sporting activity, lawn bowls 4 hour games.
My blood readings came back as 6.3 even though i ate food which should have put me way over the 7 limit. I am not taking medication.
I fully intend to keep to the healthier lifestyle as I feel better but is it possible that my diabeted reading of 9 months ago was a warning not a diagnosis?
I have visited a private specialist who after seeing the evidence collected by my gp told me i was not diabetic, my gp insists that I am? I will continue to live a healthier lifestyle and see. where my blood readings are when I have my next test which my gp said should now be in 6 months.
Confused? of course I am. :?
