[QUOTE="Sandra D, post: 2306009, member: 530248"] To be honest I'm really scared and tearful. I knew something was wrong because I felt so sluggish and tired and occasionally got blurred vision and I blamed it my thyroxine tablets, however I pushed with the doctor because I bought a blood glucose monitor and each time I tested no matter what time of day I was always over 10 and despite washing like a lunatic, I can smell a weird sweet smell coming off my body . My doctor reluctantly agreed to do a test and rang me the day the results were in, basically confirming what I thought. He said he wants to do another test but he said it will have the same results. He also said I don't drink enough fluids and I've got high cholesterol of which I have been given tablets. My main concern is he said I've got to stop eating sugary foods and cut back on sugar, I explained that I actually don't like sugar and haven't ate it or sweets, cakes, chocolate in years. He then said well you are obese and again I explained due to Covid I haven't been to the gym or swimming since March and I can't walk to far as I have a huge femoral hernia in my groin (op cancelled due to Covid), which causes my leg to collapse when I walk too far. I just feel so ****, I eat loads of fruit &veg and only eat unprocessed meat. I swapped to wholemeal bread for occasional toast, swapping between cereal but now I'm reading that cereal is bad for you and so is any type of bread. I just don't know what to do, what diet to follow because there are so many contradictions. I am dreading my appointment with the nurse at the surgery as I've seen their diet plans and they are the same as what I am eating now and i'm also dreading the LOOK and lecture about my weight. I have always been fit and spent 20 years in the TA only coming out 5 years ago, I have never been so heavy but piled it on during lockdown. Please guys tell me I'm not being paranoid, I just feel everything is against me at the moment, I'm determined to make things better but just don't know where to start :( [/QUOTE]
