[QUOTE="Higaomo, post: 2450541, member: 549737"] Good morning all Received a phone call from my GP yesterday evening to advise that I am “markedly diabetic” and summoning me for a meeting with the practice’s diabetic specialist nurse this morning, stating that I would need to start medication immediately. From my Patient Access app I discovered last night that my HbA1c was 94. Apparently I also have elevated liver enzymes and borderline high cholesterol (ratio of good/bad cholesterol “not great”). Had a mainly sleepless night last night but discovered this website and forum so have done lots of reading... I have had a pretty stressful last couple of months and have learned this could be a factor, but must admit to also having been overweight most of my adult life despite what I thought was a pretty healthy diet (nothing white, everything in moderation). My dad is type 2 diabetic and I have mainly followed the advice he was given for healthy eating as I thought this would avoid me following in his footsteps.. I have friends who have reversed their diabetes from high 40s, but 94 sounds scarily high in comparison to 45-50. Hopefully I’ll know more after my appointment this morning [/QUOTE]
