hi james,
i read your post and the responses to your post.
you didn't sound as panicked as i felt when i saw my results.
maybe you just hid it well.
since you are back here, i'm assuming you kicked the smoking....you probably reported that here at one time....i hope so.....both my parents quit when they got some lung test results.....my mother-in-law passed away 2 years ago from esophageal cancer, from smoking and drinking most likely....so i do hope you quit....
i understand the urge to smoke when on the computer...i'm like that with chewing my pens when i read or write...all my pens are chewed at the ends
here's one thing i found:
"High blood triglycerides levels - over 199 mg/dL, or 2.3 mmol/L - are a common symptom of pre-diabetes."
i think for me, that has something to do with it....exercise should help there too.
i'll be going to an endocrinologist in august for other things, so hopefully, he can help me with all of this as well.
before that, its to the GPs office.....we'll see what he says.
til then, like you making that promise to quit smoking, i've made myself a promise to walk everyday....its been 5 days and so far, so good.
just a lot of info to get my mind around right now....but i'll get it sorted out.
maybe like you, i can start on the drugs to get things turned around, and then taper off.
thanks so much,
sue
