Hello
Next week I will be going to a Diabetic Centre to carry out tests to see if I am actually diabetic - could be Type 1. My twin brother is type 1 (I'm the twin sister) and for him it turned up late in life, about 3 yrs ago. We are 59 yrs old. These are the results I received today from blood analysis (roughly the same for the last two years) so my GP here in Italy told me to go and have a check in a proper Diabetic centre:
In Italian:
GLICEMIA - 113
COLESTEROLO TOTALE - 305
COLESTEROLO HDL - 71
COLESTEROLO LDL - 195
GAMMA GT - 43
I have a good diet, eat hardly any bread or cakes, eat pasta about three times a week and yet I have these high results? I like a glass or two of white wine with my dinner but apart from this eat well. So I can only assume it is in my DNA! Admitedly I have little exercise (my work involves a lot of time on the PC), can you give me some advice>
Thank you
