Should i be worried?


Question:
I went for a blood test 2 weeks ago and it came back impaired so they called me for a glucose tolerance test and the results are in they sent me a letter saying i have to go in to discuss them with the nurse, im worried i have diabeties type 1 insulin dependant if there was nothing really wrong wouldnt they of just told me my results in the letter?

Answers:
If you were Type 1, they would NOT make you wait. They would have called and told you to come in IMMEDIATELY, because it is literally life-threatening. Type II is possible, but not Type 1. Aslo Type 1 generally occurs in younger people; children, teenagers and very young adults. My son is Type 1, became so at age 12. Blood sugar of 1,018! Normal is between 80 and 120.
They may want to put you on meds or have it repeated. When I had mine done 5 years ago they called me to come in immediatly and we talked about it because it was high at that time. Just call and talk with the nurse tomorrow and see what she says. Good luck to you.
It is important to follow the instructions in the letter becuase they are looking after your health
If you are diabetic, it sounds scary, but it is very managable and once you get used to it, it does not interfere with your life at all. I think like any medical condition, you just need to accept it and do the best you can with it. Life doesn't end because of something like this.
DONT WORRY
They don't get paid to write letters. Stop eating sugar.
