Blood test tomorrow - scared!

jamantha

Got some "screening" type blood tests at work tomorrow, for fasting glucose and cholesterol

I've been eating healthily and exercising for 3 months now, and lost 17kg (37lb) but prior to that I had got very unhealthy. So although I know I am doing the right things now, I fear that the results tomorrow are going to be really bad. At least I'm on water only (or black tea/coffee) until after they're done tomorrow morning now, so I can't sit and comfort eat my way through the worry, but if anyone would like to offer any suport or words of wisdom, I'm all ears, and very grateful!

Hope it's all gone well for you Jammy. You have started mking changes so you're doing the right things already even if it isn't the best news. <hugs>

Whatever news you get tomorrow it's information. Information you need for your new, healthier lifestyle. You're well on your way to your weight loss goal, and you're doing that to be healthy, right?

These tests will help you identify where you're going right and where you may be going wrong. That's good news isn't it? Use whatever comes out as a motivator and keep at it. You've shown in the last 3 months that you have the determination to get it done!

Well I was very pleasantly surprised to find my glucose and blood pressure were high end of normal, and cholesterol was low end of normal. Never been so pleased to be normal in my life!
