Can anyone help me? I am a little confused, recently I had to have blood tests done, cholesterol, thyroid levels checking, full blood count, liver function test, I was called back to discuss my blood results, and I was shocked to be told that I was borderline for diabetes, I believe it was 6.1, my doctor told me that I was borderline 2 years ago, I was shocked, I was then asked to see the nurse, who has told me that I have 12 weeks to get my blood sugar level down, before I have to have a fasting test done again. She told me to loose weight and watch my diet, but NEVER suggested anything about diet, only to ask me if I ate alot of sweet stuff, to which I said NO. I was told it the blood sugar level it up in 12 weeks time then I have to go for a glucose tolerence test.
All this has come as a shock to me, as 12 months ago I was diagnosed with high blood pressure, which thankfully is undercontrol, I was also told I had underactive thyroid, which is being treated, I was anaemic too, So it has been a long struggle for me, before going on medication I was loosing weight, but since taking the medication for blood pressure, thyroid & anaemia, I have put weight on. I was told that I could not exercise as this was not good for me, I have been sent to see a heart specialist, I have had an angiogram done, I go back this friday, with a view to a couple of other tests.
What I would like to know is where I can get information on diet or anything that might help me.
Many thanks.
