Story so far
Went to the doctors just before Christmas had a thrush type issue in a place a man would not like to mention at age late 50's.
Doctor examines and proscribes a hormone cream but mentions he wants me to have a blood test
Blood test comes back with a 9 I am told you may be diabetic but this is not conclusive need another test
Next test comes back at 10, my cream changed to an athletes foot cream, I ask are you sure this is appropriate for such a sensitive place my wife is not happy with no nuptuals
My Doctor retires, Sent to a nurse given a talk and given a Bayer kit and told to come back in 3 months for a special test
Being a man with a new toy stabbing myself to draw blood cutting out excessive carbs exercise and even admitting I am not invincible comes as a shock on all levels
Random stabbings show a bit of a trend, levels my are OK ish during the day but morning pre eating are high
So I read all the blurb everyone is different
Birthday comes around get sloshed on red wine readings in morning for the first time are normal , i hear cider works as well
hopefully will get some help in a few week from the doctor as I don’t want to be a diabetic
