[QUOTE="Vangellis, post: 2322078, member: 532130"] Hi everyone. I thank all of you for replying to my introductory post. Yes, I admit I am frightened. It is weird, because about a month ago, at the time the district nurses were calling twice a week to change the dressings on my leg. Anyway, I told her one day I felt rough in general. She just about gave me an MOT, she tested everything possible including blood sugar using that thing with a needle on the end they stick in your finger. I asked her what it was "out of curiosity" and she said, fine, perfectly normal. And now here I am about 3 weeks later being told I am borderline Diabetic. I don't know what to do, what to eat and drink or anything. I now look at the food labels and check the sugar content. Is that correct? GP said cut down on my tea drinking, I only have 2 cups a day, when I get up in the mornings, then I swap over to ice-cold drinks, I have my pint tankard and drink Robinsons real fruit barley (orange). here is a list of its contents. per 250ml diluted 23kj 5kcal fat 0g / <1% Saturates 0g / 0% Sugars 0g / 0% Salt 0.08g / 1% I make up a full pint using approx. 1-part juice and 3-parts ice cold water. Is this okay, I drink 3 or 4 pints per day. Oh before I forget, 6 or 7 months ago I was rushed to hospital as I thought my heart was acting up, among other, they did a blood sugar test, and said, it is very low, you need to eat breakfasts. So where the hell am I (lol) Thanks Vangellis [/QUOTE]
