Hi, first post... /waves
Quick background, i am an obese guy and been told for couple years i was "not quite diabatic" which i guess means borderline. Now i also suffer from anxiety in a big way etc, and well long story short haven't seen GP in about a year, even though i was asked to go in for a review. Consequently bit of an issue with me and my local GP surgery which isn't helping.
Been having smelly urine for past 2-3 weeks and tired eyes and generally feeling knackered so past two weeks i been fearing the worst and guessing i on road to Type 2.
Anyway bought a BG meter in the village chemist 3 days ago. Been testing in morning, 2hrs after meals etc for couple of days. 3hrs after eating right now i am at 11.5, was 7.3 before eating.
Knowing i need to do something i tried to get GP appointment and told 3 weeks before next appt (rural life). Really worried, especially as i live alone etc, anything goes wrong, nobody is calling help!
What should i do, thought about A+E, minor injuries unit etc? But as testing takes time etc, sure they just say see your GP..
Any home remedies i can lower my BG at least, meals or fasting etc..
Arghh always knew this day might come, which sounds even worse.
Worried, even a little scared..
