[QUOTE="Rachox, post: 1460860, member: 400972"] Hello everyone. I don't know where to start, but here goes. I have had high blood pressure for a couple of years now and went for a check up 2 weeks ago. My GP said I was due my annual blood test, so that was done a couple of days later just before the BH weekend. I received an email on the Tuesday after the weekend saying I needed to make an appt. to discuss my results! Online I could see there were no appts. til mid June. I phoned and explained that I couldn't sit worrying for a month, so I had a telephone appt. instead, that was last Thursday. The Dr who called said my blood test indicated possible diabetes (hbc1a was I think he said 8.6?) and he needed to send another sample. He rang just now to say this second result is the same. I now have to go and see him on Thurs (11th), to manage this diagnosis of Type 2 Diabetes. I'm feeling pretty knocked back by this, bearing in mind I was recently diagnosed with asthma too!! What can I expect of this appt., he mentioned tablets? What questions should I be asking? Sorry for the long post, but look forward to advise from you all. [/QUOTE]
