[QUOTE="Catey, post: 2171456, member: 517015"] sorry if this is a long post but I feel a little confused. I’ve always been pretty healthy, a little overweight but active. Having lost 3 stone 3 years ago with slimming world and not putting it back. 2 years ago, out of the blue, I got rushed to hospital to be told I had gallstones stuck (first thing I knew about my having gall stones). Not long after I had my gallbladder removed, 2 infections and then another op to put right the big hole they left from the first op. Last few months I started to get the shakes, extremely thirsty etc, so visited the doctor who did sent my for my hba1c (sorry if that’s wrong) along with other tests. Yesterday I rang for the results, the lady said “everything’s fine but your pre diabetic”, “what does that mean, do I need to see the doctor?” I asked her, her response was “no, everything’s fine, is there anything else I can do today” Excuse me????? I was shellshocked, not understanding what it means, what is happening and what the hell I do now? Do I need to do anything? How important is this? Is it because I had my gallbladder removed? It is just because? All these answers and so much more and I’m left kind of wondering. I’ve been reading up and I’m just overwhelmed by everything and haven’t a clue where to go or what to do now. Not being a negative person, I realise things could be a lot worse, but how can you drop something like that on someone and just say bye [/QUOTE]
