Hi,
My dr. told me that my test results are on the border, but she's going to treat me as a diabetic. Here're results of GTT:
fasting 96
1 hr 200
2 hrs 124
A1C result: 6.0 H
She's sending me to a nutritionist and putting me on Metformin as well as cholesterol and blood pressure drugs. She gave me a choice of starting to monitor BS now or not.
My question is: am I pre-diabetic or diabetic? Should I start monitoring BS? If yes, what's the best system. Are headaches common with BS issues? I seem to have a slight headache most of the time these days.
I'm female, 47, very active, slightly overweight, eat healthy, but overindulge sometimes.
Thank you!
Marina
