[QUOTE="WilliamEE, post: 655084, member: 116419"] Thanks everyone for your comments. If ever I need to take medication I can do so with much more confidence. Nearly 3 years ago when I had my fasting bloods done my blood glucose came back as 5.8. My doctor asked me if I wanted to go on Metformin. I declined and had an OGTT which came back 5.5 fasting and 5.5 2 hours after. I'm sort of shocked that he recommended medication based on one fasting test. Recent OGTT was 5.6 fasting & 7 after two hours. I am not taking any chances and am following a low carb diet (lost 8-9Kg over the last 3 months) and hope so get into the gym as soon as my sore back/buttock/thigh improves. [/QUOTE]
