Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="CathyN" data-source="post: 336255" data-attributes="member: 45197">HiI would take this as a good opportunity to start taking action right now. Yes, any one can get any illness 'down the line'  -  but the great thing ( and it IS a great thing ) about being diagnosed with diabetes ( even if it is borderline ) is that you have a warning. You officially have a predisposition to raised glucose levels and they will only either stay the same or get worse if you don't take action.I had impaired fasting glycaemia for years and did not realise that I should have been taking action at the point when it was first picked up. Hey presto! I am now officially Type 2. By taking action to control my diet and exercise I have made big improvements  -  but I can't help wishing I'd started a lot sooner.If I were you, I would accept the help that comes with the diagnosis, and I'd take the reins and start sorting it out. For many people, it is possible to control this condition - thereby hopefully avoiding or narrowing down the possibility of 'complications'.There's lots of great advice , help and support on this forum.Good luck!! :thumbup:</blockquote>
