Thanks for your reply. You know, I have no idea how my pre-diabetes is! Perhaps I should go back and have a re-check, but after the initial shock, I got over it and have pretty much carried on. There isn't too much I could change anyway - I'm a real lightweight at 7 stone, so dieting is out. I don't eat cakes, biscuits, sugary or fatty foods and one of my main interests is walking, even long distances with active trekking holidays - so no problems there. The wine is still an issue ... when I get worried (about anything) it's the first thing I stop. But when i get cheerful and optimistic (about anything!), I have a bad habit of opening the chardonnay.
Wha IS interesting is that after one year on anastrozole, my joints no longer ache and I'm as flexible as I was before. Well, almost. Of course there has been some side effects from the anastrozole, but on the whole, I feel well.
Having said that, you've reminded me about the pre-diabetes and I may well ask for a blood test. How are you?
Love Cherry
