Hi Ladies.

I have been to the Dr today (actually for a cold) but she tested my urine and everything else anyways just to see ow things were going...

My blood pressure has risen from 125/65 to 165/95 in a week and there is what she classes as "moderate levels" of sugar in my urine. She has booked me in for a GTT test next Monday and I'm a little scared... ok not scared... TERRIFIED! I know I haven't been diagnosed yet, but I am overweight and fear it will be confirmed on Monday.

I'm hoping I'll be able to sponge information out of you all... and ease my fears...

I know this may be a little pre-emptive, but if you are insulin dependant, does that mean injections or are there tablets for this yet?? I totally admire anyone who can inject insulin themselves but don't think I would ever have the courage to do this myself.

Can you fight it, I mean with diet and exercise, can you make it go away?? Or is it always there??

Anyone's help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
