Hi all.
So a few months back I had 3 blood tests done to test my blood sugar. The first 2 came back over 7 and I was told if the 3rd came back high, I might be looking at a diabetes diagnosis. The 3rd one came back in the acceptable range, although the doc said it was still on the higher range. She said they would review again in the summer and another gp said my 3 blood tests weren't enough for a diagnosis of diabetes yet.
Anyway I am going to Florida in a couple of weeks, and now I am panicking about if i take unwell on holiday, especially over there as we all know what their healthcare system costs. I haven't been feeling 100% the past few weeks, but I'm not sure if my anxiety is contributing. I feel if I go to the doc now then I don't want to be starting a new medication just as I go away to the other side of the world. As anxiety sufferers know, all the worst case scenarios are running through my head and it's stopping me from enjoying the build up to my holiday, it's my little boys first time there.
Anyway does anyone have any info on diabetes diagnosis, how long it usually takes. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you :hugs:
