last year march time after i thought i had suffered a breakdown and after tests i was informed i had high bs, one doctor said it was due to stress, after the info i gave him, but the other doc said otherwise so not too sure where i stood, after seeing the dietician who said i will see you again in november and where i had to lose weight and control the dibetes with diet, i have not heard from her and it's late january now, i have lost two stone since i saw her and another two before that 4 stone in total, the first two was for my daughter's wedding. i have been naughty, and becaue of stress again and my sugars did go up, i didnt have my starve blood test, which was last september, am scared to go yet i know i should go because i have been good sugars wise watching diet and making sure i do more, walking and things on the farm, don't all shout at me at once, but am scared through miss information i think, have alway's been afraid of the unknown, and you hear so many stories, which i shouldn't listen to because everyone is individual am in a right mix up really

ty for listening
 
You need to phone your dietician and make an appt to see her. Also ring your surgery and get your fasting sugars tested.
You've done really well losing 4 stone but you do need to get the blood tests done.
If you are diabetic, taking the ostrich approach won't make it go away.
Remember knowledge is power.
There are plenty of people on this forum who will help answer any questions you may have.
If you're managing to cope by diet alone there are loads of links that can help.
Be strong and call your doctor

thank you for taking the time to answer my mail, i know am silly, just what am afraid of is myself i suppose because each time he gives me meds the doc that is, i react to them, when i had my breakdown 10 years ago, took 7 types of meds to find right one reacted each time, and then when it came for me to come off the pills i had side effects for two year's, wish my nan was alive she had a few good old remedies, so i will make appointment monday, i will, really am not after sympathy just a kick up the bum.:oops:

thanks again
shirl bless you
 
Awww Shirley, welcome to the forum, read through the posts here and you will see that everyone of us has experienced what you are going through now so come on dont feel silly, there is no need to, a bit of sympathy doesnt do any harm ever, after all sometimes life is such a struggle and as the saying goes, a problem shared is a problem hard.

You have done incredibly well shedding 4st, I know from experience that this is really hard to do and your doctor and nurse and dietitian will be so proud of you too.
The doctor might not give you any new medication at all, see whst your results are first and if the doctor does suggest medication ask if you can maybe try a bit longer with diet and exercise alone and then work out some regime that might just help your bg be stable (there are loads of suggestions for that in this forum and so much information too, I think it is the not knowing thst creates fear, the more you learn the more confident you will become.

Tell what sort of scary stories have you heard?

It made me smile and so sad also when I read that you wish that you grandma was still alive, I miss my grandma too, she died last September aged 96, I know people in here will just laugh about me but when you love someone so very much they can be 500 years old and it still is too soon.
She was very clever and knew about remedies and things, right up the week before she died she was still going for her swimming and mass every morning, then back home for a snack and then on to the old peoples home to do voluntary work there, most of the residents even younger than her own children.
Tell what remedies she knew, its interesting to know, these things should never be forgotteh.
I hope you do make that appointment, tell us what time and we will all go with you (not physially hehehe, but we will all be thinking of you, we will be brave with you. And then come back here and we will put on the kettle, ration ourselves to a couple of nutty, fruity oat biscuits and we will chat and giggle how is that huh?

All the best

Challenges can be stumbling blocks or stepping stones, it depends how you view them
 
Well done Shirley for making that appt. I'm really proud of you.:-)
Whatever you find out the people on here will help you thru.
Just a thought, do you have a friend you can take with you for moral support?
Karen and Shirley (huge hugs)
It always hurts like hell when you lose someone you love. The pain never goes. I lost my dad 10 years ago and I miss him. The number of times something has happened & I think to myself that I must tell the old man that, is scary.
We wouldn't be human if we didn't care
