[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2383155, member: 372717"] Happy birthday. You are 49years young so I wouldn't assume any symptoms are due to old age. 48 is likely to be an hba1c (a measurement of your average blood sugar over the last three months) which is diabetic according to many countries and prediabetic according to a few. (It's a how long is a piece of string question, but whichever way you look at it you are on the diabetic prediabetic boundary). If you are T2 (carb intolerant, likely but not necessarily true), reducing the carbs in your diet will help. Testing your blood sugar before and after meals will help you determine what your body can cope with. The good news is that you are only just diabetic so that it is likely that reducing the carbs in your diet is a relatively easy fix. Good luck. Let us know how you go. [/QUOTE]
