I went to the doctor last week for my asthma and he decided to do some blood work. WOW! The nurse called me and said my sugar is high!! They are sending it to be tested again, I am in shock!! DOnt know how high, but I am worried. Hope to find out something tomorrow!!

I had a similar wake up call in May with my cholesterol and triglycerides being sky high. The doctor wanted to put me on meds, but I told him I was going to try and lose weight and get fit and see how that changed things. Well after 4 months, losing 19 lbs, working out 4-5 times/week I went to have my blood work redone.....My triglycerides went from 193 to 105, and my cholesterol is 184..... No medication for me!!!!! It was not easy, but with MFP and the support from this site, i was successful in my goal to be healthier!! Good luck to you!!

Same thing happened to me, well I went for a physical, they said my blood sugar was borderline, better start working on it now before i get older and have problems....I am now on High Blood Pressure medicine called atenolol a very small dose, they also relax you and help a little with anxiety so that benefits me a little too, don't think i'll be on them forever unless of course my blood pressure is high after i lose all the weight i wanna lose.

good luck with it
