[QUOTE="sugar, post: 5095, member: 1030"] Good luck for Monday! Ovbiosly, it is difficult for any of us to say whether you are diabetic or not, so I wouldn't like to hazard a guess. Just to say that if you find you have joined the diabetic club, it doesn't have to be so bad...and teh good news is that it is treatable, and knowing what the problem is means that would hopefully start to feel better soon. The other thing I would add, is to reiterate what was said above. I was once told, that a diabetic diet is a healthy diet...and everyone should be on it! Now, there are many discussions, on this forums alone about what constitutes "healthy", but for the weekend at least, it may help to eat as few carbohydrates as possible. This meas cutting back on not just the sugary stuff (ie, the stuff I love!:oops:) but also the bread, the pasta, the potatoes etc. Even apples and bananas can contain carboydrate. If you could stick to things like eggs, green veg, really low fat yogurts etc...and of course not full fat drinks (although tea and coffee without sugar is fine!) just for teh weekend, it might help. It might not either...but would do no harm for the weekend! Don't worry, I am not suggesting that if you do find you are diabetic, that you can never enjoy a chip again...diabetics who are being treated for the condition, can chose what they eat, although many do prefer to stick to teh low cab (as oppose to NO carb!!) option. Eat as normal the night before your blooe test though...wouldn't want to alter the result artificially! It must be really tough, back ache is bad enough, so you really have my sympathy! Like I said, I am not an expert....and like any advice you get...especially from people you haven't met, you have to judge for yourself...but I don't think that limiting your diet for 2 days could do much harm? What do others think? [/QUOTE]
