[QUOTE="shellysexbomb, post: 496156, member: 98862"] Hello y'all, great forum with much valuable info. I had a random glucose level come back at 9.9, so was asked to do 2 fasting glucose tests. One was 7,7 and the second was 6.6, nurse said this was 'borderline' so I had to go do the GTT. Finally, after a 2 week wait, I got the phone call yesterday inviting me to the Docs today. The glucose level after the GTT was 12.6 so am confirmed as type 2 diabetic. It seems lifestyle change is the way forward ( I have been doing slimming world for 6weeks in any case and have lost 13lb so far) No meter as they dont think it would be of any relevance for me to know. Havent had cholestrol done for over 12 months but it was 4.7 way back then. BP is fine. I read in one post that it is a good idea to invest in a meter for self monitoring, so I have done. Now at what points is it most important to check glucose levels? Thanks in advance :) Shelly [/QUOTE]
