Summary
Mid sixties male. Active cyclist and walker. No medications or aware of any health issues. Until now ! Yes I am overweight. Two stones heavier than ideal.
Took a comprehensive checkover in September at a private hospital whilst on my travels in Turkey. Consultant said I was diabetic. My uncle was T1.
No other issues of concern. Travelling full time last two years and have not been back to uk yet. Will be in January. Feeling ok but bought test kit for sugars.
Pre breakfast average is 5.6 mmol and last thing before bed averages 6.4 mmol. I’m thinking these numbers are not bad based on my new found interest on the subject. Will be late January before I see my doctor. Just wondered what the forum opinion is? Don’t take sugar in anything I drink and avoid it generally with the odd lapse. Whole diabetes site is a revelation.
Seems brilliant resource.
