Told I am diabetic, but given no instructions on life changes other than take these pills.
To check my thyroid level, my doctor ordered a blood screening. When he recieved it back he announced that I was now diabetic, had high cholesteral and high triglicerides. He handed me 3 prescriptions and told me to come back in 4 weeks. No instructions were given other that take these pills once a day and then come back. Everything I find on the internet seems to be written in a special code that only those versed in diabetes control truly understand. Help please. I do not even know were to start. My blood work six months ago showed none of these problems.
I am depressed about the drastic health change and frustrated to tears that the only things I find are: insulin shots, follow your doctors eating plan, and exercise.
Besides taking the pills,follow a good diet.Avoid sweets,potatoes.cut down fats.Go for a brisk walk for atleast 30 to 40 minutes daily or some good exercise for 30 minutes.There is nothing to worry about and take the medicines regularly prescribed by your doctor
