[QUOTE="meemo38, post: 635948, member: 128612"] Well i had a routine blood test that i have every 6 months for my blood pressure and was called back to have a fasting blood test, and also told i had to make an app with the GP, so off i went to the GP tonight having a pretty good idea that they were looking for sugar.......so he tells me that i had some readings of 59 (supposedly based over 3 months) and my fasting test was 7.9, he told me i need to be referred to the diabetic clinic and i need to make some diet and life style changes, he then went on to tell me that normally he would diagnose on 2 fasting tests but was pretty sure i am type 2 diabetes (i will be having my next test towards the end of the month and seeing the nurse at the end of Oct. He asked if i had any questions...my only question was did i HAVE to check my bloods as i really didn't want to be pricking myself...he said no i didn't, although i have since seen on here its recommended...........now my main concern is i DO LOVE my sugary foods, ie cakes and biscuits :-( but i will have to try and go back to low carbing which i did last year to lose weight, although i find it really hard i do need to lose weight as well so it will help with that. So i think that's all for now, any advice re the foods i can have would be great [/QUOTE]
