Hi there
Had my blood test results come back at 53, last year was in the early 40s and the previous year a little lower so have been diabetic now somewhere under a year. Waiting to do second test next week but I'm not kidding myself. Have been through some of the stages of grief quite quickly and now determined to address the situation. I'm 52 and overweight, bordering obese. Quit alcohol 6 years ago and don't smoke so luckily don't have those to deal with as well. I'm hoping not to have to take meds at this point, intending to go down the Newcastle diet route. My diet is good and bad. I eat lots of the right things and lots of the wrong things! I've started to address that but not going crazy until I've seen the doctor. Interested to hear what GPs have suggested to people in similar situation to me.
