[QUOTE="chillijo, post: 885117, member: 40748"] My Hb1Ac was apparently "ok", (Doc didn't tell me the figure) but my cholesterol was high he said, 5.6 and since all this started a few weeks ago it has become more apparent that I have been drinking more, weeing more, been tired and have lost a few pounds over a short period of time. The doctor has cautiously decided to class me as Diabetic and is starting me off on 40mg of Gliclazide just once a day for now to see how it goes. Have an appointment with the clinic early July. He has told me to eat low fat, which I do to a degree now, and my carb intake hovers around 130 daily. (I have used MyfitnessPal for years to track my weight). Think I am going to find it hard to cut back and find alternative foods ..... I am a creature of habit, like certain things and stick with them. I am feeling slightly confused and overwhelmed to be honest with the amount of help on this site ...so many questions and so many answers to choose from! I admire you all for your daily battles with Diabetes, it must be tough for many and I feel that I have no problem compared to some. Anyway, I have noticed that people are encouraged to test themselves which sounds a good idea to me, so on that note can anyone suggest what products are better to use? I would like to keep an eye on things and I don't think I will be getting anything from the Doctors. Sorry to ramble on! [/QUOTE]
