Hi,
I recently had a blood test but it was for something else. However, the GP sent me a text message to tell me that my blood sugar is 'a little higher than normal', suggesting that I am prediabetic. It has caused me to feel very anxious and depressed. I have a meter that seems to be somewhat erratic when I test myself. After eating it is giving me a reading of 7.1 to 7.3. Prior to eating, it can be 5.3 to 6.1. I have also had a reading of 9.0 just after testing at 7 ish. I have tried to do as much research as possible, but seem to get conflicting information. I have cut out refined sugar and am having a celery and spinach smoothie every day, followed by chicken for my dinner (I'm still hungry after this). Will I definitely become diabetic?
Any advice would be much appreciated.
