The nurse from the local doctors called; I had to have a blood test to check my liver function is OK to continue taking my drugs and she phoned with the results.
That part was fine, but it looks as if I may have diabetes. Fasting blood sugar should be under 7; mine was 12. (Er...ooops.)
So they're going to do a special blood test to see what your blood sugar has been over the last three months - I forget what they call it - and a urine test. What fun.
It's not good news.
However, I've been sort-of expecting it over the last few years. I think trouble with the pancreas is in the genes in my family; the Aged P. had diabetes and my late father had pancreatic cancer, which killed him. Of the two I'd rather have the diabetes.
