Hi Everyone.
I know it sounds strange to not know but I feel I have been left in limbo by the doctors. I thought I was starting with the menopause so I had some blood tests done. I have always had to eat at set times otherwise I felt ill but this time my blood test come back with a result of 15.6. So they asked for a Hba1c test to be done. I phoned for the results today and this came back at 74.
The receptionist said that the doc wants me to have another blood test in 2 weeks, which I really feel has left me in limbo, am I diabetic or not? And what should I be doing for the next 2 weeks? I started healthier eating on Monday when I got the first result and tonight I bought a blood sugar monitor on the way home from work so I can start to monitor before and after meals, to see whats going on.
Do you have any advice on what I could be doing while I wait and is this normal just to be left not knowing?
