D'oh.
So it turns out I have it. Darnit - just in time for Easter! So that means plenty of fruit, rice, pasta, nuts. Much less chocolate, sugar, salt.. actually it's really just a healthy diet in general. Which is probably something I should have started years ago anyway. First up I went for the initial blood test which came back at 7.8 which is right on the cutoff. So I went back for the second test where you have a high carb diet for 3 days, then fast for 12 hours. They give you a sugar drink & then take your blood every hour for 3 hours. Now I get to go into the hospital on Thursday & pick up a blood testing kit & have a briefing. Hopefully I won't have to give myself any injections. I'll have to prick my finger & test my blood every day though. Poor little Rex; this increases their chances of being an actual diabetic later on.
I wonder if this has anything to do with the fact that Rex gets hiccups all the time??
