So as well as the folic acid they're putting me back on iron tablets because I am officially back to being stupidly anemic.

But wait. There's more.

They're wanting to keep an eye on my thyroid levels. Those are being sus.

I am apparently "pre-diabetic".

Like... The limit is 41. Diabetic is 47. I'm 42-43.

Something like that?

I have another blood test in two weeks. Doctors appointment in three weeks. Might have to get a tube down my throat to check out my insides and such.

Never rains but it pours lol

Don't let it rise.

If there's any chance you and your docs can get you down to normal re: pre-diabetes, try and try hard. It's a pain in the ass.

Like I like to eat and all, but having to put so much focus and thought on staying in certain blood sugar ranges lest your body be an ass and your mood and physical status is affected and/or you could die or go into a coma is awful.

I hope they help get your levels and everything into a good range.

Yeah that's what we're gonna be trying to do. I really hope I can bring it down. I'm being referred to a few people to help me work out how to actually do that. I do not want to be diabetic if I can help it.

Listen to c_anon. They speak truth. /hates being diabetic

I've worked in care for many years and had to look after elderly with diabetes. So never personally had it, but know the frustrations and the risks of it. I am very much going to do what I can to keep myself from getting it!

Iiiii haven't met and had relationships with many elderly people with it since I don't work in care, but the prospect makes me want to stare directly into the sun. Just realizing what I have at 34, it's like...

I realized in the last two days I would have a hard as hell time sustaining myself if for any reason I had to live off the land for an extended period or I got stranded at sea or on an uninhabited island. The last two are improbable since I have never been on a cruise ship and don't fly at present, but. I'm sure you understand.

My mom had type 1 and... yeah. I just. Don't want it for anyone, let alone my friends.

diabetes suuuuuck

at least you have some idea of whats going on :c
