I came home from a holiday today to a letter from the GP saying my blood test is showing I have pre diabetes. Saw doctor a week ago for on going 4month sinus problem, bad cough and loss of sense of smell. Antibiotics worked fine and can smell again now tg. She did 2 blood tests 2 stool tests as stomach hurt when she pressed it, and x-ray. Didn't ring me while I was away in UK so thought all is ok.
But I'm only 8st and 5ft 1" so not overweight. My mother and sister both are type 2 diabetic but both very large ladies several stone overweight. I'm not I'm a healthy weight. Looked up all the symptoms on Google and I'd put it down to age (I'm 65) but I'm using the toilet more, really tired no energy, sleeping in the afternoon, up to the toilet at night and drinking more than usual.
Well all the online advice is suggesting weight loss and diet so not sure where to go from here. Any help appreciated I'm just so shocked that I have this. Thanks x
