[QUOTE="tigerlily72, post: 228395, member: 38433"] Thanks Viv I know I will be given the official line on diet and lifestyle etc so fully prepared for that speech - as long as it's done in a supportive way! I'm hoping it's the person I spoke to when I had a letter requesting me to book a repeat fasting blood test. She was really nice and explained they wouldn't be doing the 2 tests - i.e. fasting and then the oral glucose tolerance test. This was because they acknowledged and saw just how traumatic it was for me the first time around due to my fear of injections and needles!!! I did tell the Dr on Tues that I'd managed to lose 9lb since the first result but she didn't make much comment. I mentioned it to show I am serious about trying to manage the condition and to lower both my blood sugar, blood pressure and of course lose some weight. I will of course let you know how I get on. Thanks for the support so far :D [/QUOTE]
