[QUOTE="MikeTurin, post: 1571929, member: 318833"] I am a blood donor. Some exams like the fasting BG were borderline but cholesterol was out of spec. My GP sent me to a specialist visit for cholesterol, then I was put on statines with very generic dieting advices. Cholesterol gone down but fasting BG was around 5,5 5,6. My GP wasn't concerned. Then I had a period where i gained weight rapidly because I was always hungry, got blurry vision, peeing a lot, and at a donation they sent me a letter with a fasting BG level of 15. Meanwhile I got a new GP, he looking at my older exams said I probably was prediabetic for years. So I was prediabetic for at least five years before and with full uncontrolled diabetes for six month, at least. I am lucky to being a blood donor. [/QUOTE]
