[QUOTE="gardengnome42, post: 1601162, member: 114214"] Thanks Grateful and Pipp for the reply. I think I was just really shocked to see the test result online with just a cursory [B]'abnormal - see the nurse'[/B] comment. I saw one of my neighbours today who happens to be a practice nurse in another surgery and deals with patients like me all the time - most of whom she said are 'Forty, fat and inactive' !! She said the diabetic nurse will look at me and realise that I don't fit the usual picture, with me being as she knows, fit, slim and active. She said not to worry 43 isn't so bad and if diabetes is going to get me then it will but life style advice won't make any difference in my case. She is not only a practice nurse but has diabetes running through her family, both T1 and T2 [mother, sister and niece] although neither she nor her husband and children have it so I guess she has loads of experience. Have to say I do still feel anxious at the thought of seeing the nurse 'For my diabetes' as the receptionist said when I made the 20 min appointment. [/QUOTE]
