[QUOTE="NitinHP, post: 2196690, member: 518248"] Hi I first started noticing blurry vision early last summer. Initially I put it down to the air conditioning where I worked. Then late Summer, during a lull at work, I went to see my gp. I was sent for a blood test and was diagnosed as pre diabetic. This came as quite a shock, although being of Asian decent, I always knew it would come. My mother has type 2 and most if not all of my relatives of my mum's generation have diabetes. I was then informed of a study, the define study, being carried out at Kings Hospital, London. I went for 2 days over a month, where various types of tests, mostly eye related, were carried out. I expected to get an insight into my specific issue, but understood that it was more about the instruments used. They confirmed I had pre diabetes and that was the last encounter i have had with a health care professional relating to my pre diabetes. I have since been researching, researching, researching, which has led me here. I have made a major change to my lifestyle. I am just wandering if it is possible to make too, drastic a change. Do I have to keep checking my blood sugar after every meal or can I go by how I feel, instead. I am a carer and only concerned about staying healthy enough to be a carer, without the person I care for knowing I have an issue and not letting my issue progress any further. I feel mostly ok, getting up once at night to pee. Dry mouth is not as bad. Do feel tired a lot. Belly fat has been noticeably reduced. Still have the blurry vision. I will have to see my gp at some point. Is there anything specific I need to ask, please. Thank you [/QUOTE]
