[QUOTE="itsnotme, post: 2678023, member: 585320"] Took a blood test a few days ago and got the call from my doctor today telling me that my score was 99. I still have the confirmatory test to come. It came up as part of a medical for adopting a child, my urine test showed presence of glucose. My wife and I have adopted one already and I was all clear last time (4 years ago). There is a strong family history of diabetes in my family. My wife was unable to have children due to PCOS, and her medic al came back clear. We are desperate to adopt again especially as a potential match is a half sibling of the child we have adopted. Am slightly scared, though I do know the best way to manage the disease is via exercise and better diet control. Am swapping white pasta for wholemeal and home made pasta will have a mix of wholemeal and normal OO flour. I suspect that I won't be diet only at these levels... I have no symptoms at all at the moment, so while I'm not entirely surprised as I am clinically obese and the familial history, it's still a jolt. My doctor told me the numbers but these were meaningless to me until I started googling. [/QUOTE]
