[QUOTE="Vangellis, post: 2321684, member: 532130"] Hello Everybody I am new to this site and also new to diabetic "anything" I had my routine blood tests done (Iam taking Rivaroxaban-blood thinner) blood tests are mandatory. Everything else was perfectly normal except my blood sugar level. My Doctor told me that my blood-sugar test was 49, and to cut back on things, such as bread and biscuits etc. I do not have a clue what this 49 means. I have absolutely no idea whatsoever what the Doctor was talking about. I phoned my Chemist earlier today and spoke with the Pharmacist and asked him what this 49 thing was all about? I was told it was high. I asked him what are the normal levels, he said 7-10. I freaked out; I still don't know what's happening. I obviously realised there was a problem so I have just purchased a GlucoRX-Q blood glucose test kit, but it won't be delivered until Monday 26th. A bit about myself..... I am Male, 68 years old. I am registered severely disabled and housebound. As I have heart failure and COPD, with the COPD being [B]very annoying[/B] as I [B][U]have never smoked in my life.[/U][/B] I am married with two grown-up kids who are now married with families of their own. I live on my own. My wife moved out a year ago. (Thank god) I spend 99% of my time either using my laptop or a games console. (Xbox One X and PS4) I do not have a TV, simply because there is nothing on there I would watch. I am very depressed because I am unable to do the things I used to do anymore. I was a very keen fisherman (Carp). I took care of everybody on the estates car (I am/was a mechanic) etc, etc. I would describe myself as being overeactive about the state of my health, almost to the point it would be considered OCD. Anyway. Thank you for reading. Vangellis. [/QUOTE]
