Hi, I've just been diagnosed as pre diabetic (HbA1c 46mmol & Fasting Glucose of 5.3mmol). To say I'm concerned and worried would be an understatement! The GP has not been very helpful, so I'm hoping for some glimmer of hope on the forum; especially as I have IBS.
I'm female, aged 42, with text book BP, not overweight, visit the gym 4-5 per week, non smoker, follow a low FODMAP diet for severe IBS, and have no family history of type 1 or 2.
I have never been tested for diabetes before, and was only tested by my GP as I'd been feeling faint and/or passing out for a number of weeks this January. I did have a large baby in 2010 (9lbs 5oz), and the GP has suggested that I may have had gestational diabetes but wasn't tested as I wasn't considered high risk.
