Message: <blockquote data-quote="brill" data-source="post: 106684" data-attributes="member: 20444">I saw a different Doctor who sent me for a complete set of blood tests after I mentioned that my father died of a heart attack at 52 (I'm 48). Surprise surprise, I passed the cholesterol etc tests but my BG was 7.6! No symptoms, no family history, and although I was overweight, I'd alweays eaten my veggies and exercised, so the possibility had never crossed my mind. I had had a GTT after having my second very large baby, 12 years previously  - apparently that's an indicator - but I'd passed with flying colours. I consider myself lucky that it was picked up before I got any complications :wink: Cheers,Brill</blockquote>
