Hi all.
I don't know where to start or what to say really!
I had a call from my docs yesterday saying a blood test had come back and the results needed to be discussed with me. I made an appointment there and then for that eve.
Got into see the doc (who wasn't one id ever seen before) and was told this.. and I quote....
"Well.... You have diabetes!"
I was completely shocked and told him so to which he replied "really?"
I nodded and he said "well, you've been borderline since 2015 and that's why you e been having yearly blood tests and also why after having one last month it was repeated"
I told him I had absolutely no idea what the blood test was for and was only aware it was part of my yearly review for my health checks. (An annual MOT I was recommended to have in addition to my 6 monthly reviews for rheumatoid arthritis by my rheumatologist)
All he said then was....
"Well, you've got it and so now you need to make an appointment with our practice specialist nurse and to attend a weekly drop in"
I am still in shock.....
It has me asking myself all sorts of questions including, Why.... If I have been borderline for four years, hasn't anybody ever mentioned it!!
