Hello, My name is Graham, just turned 60, I have just been told by my gp that my blood test result was at 50 mmol/mol 6.7%, making me diabetic, I do have blood pressure which is controlled well with medication, I am 5’10 and 14.5st, so classed as overweight, I go to the gym twice a week, for a mild workout, not excessive.To say this news has come as a shock to me is an understatement, I have to give another blood test in 2 weeks time, for what reason I don’t know, should’ve asked.
I admit my diet hasn’t been the best, but no means the worst, I don’t drink alcohol, other than the occasional beer if out for a meal, and often a Chinese or fish and chips meal at the weekend.
Having had a quick look at the forum, I’m liking the stories of putting into remission, and obviously this is my goal, I have full support from my family as I start this voyage of discovery as a very nervous and worried man.
I note so many contradictions in what’s a good diet, so confusing for me, one says eat this and another says don’t eat this.
Thanks for reading.....thanks
