I have been diagnosed with syndrome X. The way it was explained to

me..after I had that blood glucose test, the one where you drink the

bottle of glucose, then get your blood taken every hour for three times..

ok-

When your body breaks sugar down..but, not as fast as it should

causing high blood sugar for an amount of time.

it also causes weight gain, fatigue, and several other problems, not

to mention..high blood sugar. My doctor then said it was basically a

'pre-diabetic' thing, that would surely end up as having true diabetes

if I did not do what I should as far as diet and exercise.

So, I cut out sweets, I started watching my carb intake very closely,

as this too will turn to sugar if not broken down properly. I take

metfornim twice a day, and pray that I will not have diabetes in the

true, insulin shot form.

Now..I hope that this is the same as was mentioned in earlier post.

If not, then I have also been mis-informed by another wonderful

doctor(sarcasm there.)..lol
