[QUOTE="sparrow61, post: 1499221, member: 415393"] Hi, my name is Debbie, I am 56 and new to this, so please excuse any mistakes. Last year I had an hbA1c reading of 46 and was basically told if I did not lose weight, in a years time, she (my doctor) would be diagnosing me with type 2 diabetes. I was then sent packing, with no advice on what I should or should not be eating. The last few months, despite having b12 injections every 10 weeks, I feel awful. If I try to do anything, I literally have to drag myself around, awake most of the night, and irritable and weak during the day. I am under lots of stress because our son had cancer (but that's another story) and I have a form of mild spina bifida (occulta) with tethered cord syndrome, so I am not as active as i should be. Anyway, I went back to the Doctors last Friday in floods of tears and she did some blood tests. I got a phone call Monday morning and the receptionist says I have to have another blood test in 2 weeks. My hbA1c is now 48. I haven't got a clue what all this means. I haven't felt well for several years (after having acute pancreatitis from gallstones) but have never felt quite this bad. There is a history of diabetes on both sides of the family. I would be grateful for any advice because I have not got a clue what is going on. This is not living it is existing and I am so miserable x [/QUOTE]
