Hello everyone, I was diagnosed with pre diabetes about six weeks ago. I went for a routine blood test and my doctor told me my blood sugar had been rising over the last year and now I was borderline. ( Would have been nice if he had told me months ago ) .
I asked about a glucose monitor and he said there was no need for one. I think he said my level was 8......
I have been trying very hard with my diet for the last six weeks, but yesterday I felt very unwell, shaky, and just not with it.
Today I did feel better, so I went out and bought a monitor. My level was 5.5, so I must be doing something right.
The chemist said my doctors practice should be paying for the monitor and test strips etc, does anyone know if he is correct ?
