Thanks for replies. Yes, I think in terms of balance too.... and using this as a wake up call. Since I hit 40 I've had a few unexpected health problems and obviously do need some sort of overhaul!
Until I came here, I hadnt heard of the other blood test which measures glucose levels over 3 months. I will go back to my GP to discuss testing for this. Wish me luck, am in the UK and the health care here is desperate (my partner is from the US and hasnt got over the horror of it yet). Still, onwards in a positive manner
