[QUOTE="Jenny15, post: 1803559, member: 196992"] Hi [USER=476626]@Marcus1234[/USER] I can understand your fear of going to the doctor and how real that is for you. If you could get some treatment or at least support with your health anxiety disorder then that may allow you to get the minimum contact needed with doctors to get your symptoms under control. Are you able to use the phone to access services designed for people with this disorder. There probably are doctors out there willing to go the extra mile for you if they can. You may need blood testing and medication that only a doctor can provide, and only after meeting with you face to face. I am happy to consider any info you can provide on what it is that you fear, and to help you brainstorm some possible solutions. Is it fear of being told bad news? Fear of being forcibly treated? Fear of needles or blood? Many people have similar issues to a greater or lesser degree and there are success stories out there. Home blood testing will be very helpful for you, and dietary changes alone can work for many people. However, there is a point at which people need medical checks, to prevent them getting to a stage where only a doctor can help. Prediabetes increases the chance of getting diabetes, which is a more major illness than I originally thought it was. [/QUOTE]
