All I've ever wanted was to see my children grow up and know they have made the right choices.....Two or three weeks ago, I wasn't well at all....Dry throat, thirsty, lost weight.... Months before had been Incredibly moody.Went to the A&E with what seemed like a heart attack or bad panick attack. Had ECG, blood tests, chest x-ray, bottom line told it was anxiety, blood apparently fine, no problems with sugar level, done repeat blood tests with GP, who then checked my sugar levels over the past three months with some test, test came back 9.1 for average....I was told to change diet and lose weight, and then just done another test again to confirm with GP that I was diabetic, when I rang the receptionist to confirm blood test results she said it had dropped to 8.1 level...And no further treatment needed....Does anyone know what that means,."no further treatment needed"?  I'm very confused,  a different GP I. The same surgery has now put me on Meterformin 500mg twice a day.Am I diabetic or am i prediabetic, sorry very confused.My toes feel like they are tingling and numbness..Does this mean diabetes has already started to kick in and therefore the process for foot amputation is on Its way most -probably? I'm hoping it's the metformin and or  my anti depressants I've had for the past week is serotoline....Can it really be that quick and aggressive...bloodyhell I've just had the test. I'm not talking to my wife, I can't look at my children without tears coming to my eyes and dreading the future...I don't know if I should do brisk walking to lose weight or will this make things worse, I don't know what to safely eat as everyone says different things.I've been starvng myself and keep wondering how long before I'm in the A&E again with a complication  such as my toes/foot legs tingling this  early on..Can somebody please tell me where I stand, and how long do they think I have? As I know doctors do not always tell the truth until you're actually In The hospital at the last minute dying....Sorry for long post..Can someone please tell me where I stand?</p></blockquote><p></p>
