I have been having some serious health problems so I went to the doctor to have blood tests done. We all thought it would come back positive for diabetes. But instead the doctor says I have extremely high cholesterol. They didn't tell me my exact number they told my mom hers was 132 but mine was much higher... I am 16. I don't eat fast food. I don't eat fried food. I eat whole grain bread and cereal. I eat fruits and veggies like religiously. I do exercise. I just don't understand at all. Do you think this test could be wrong? I have all the symptoms of diabetes and so many people in my family have it. I just don't understand.
