My last 4 Glucose Fasting test results were 6.7mmo/l, 6.8mmo/l, 7.3mmo/l and 7.9mmo/l. However I had my 1st HbA1c test taken last month and I gave a result of 27mmo/l. What on earth does this indicate? Anyone think this is a bit strange??? Why am I producing elevated Glucose levels indicative of...

OK just briefly my most recent fasting test gave a reading of 7.3mmo/l. I also had an HbA1c test done with the fasting test but that came back with a very healthy level of 27mmo/l. I am very confused... Why is the fasting result indicative of diabetes whereas the 3 month HbA1c test suggest...

I got the results of my pre-diabetes review yesterday. My Glucose Fasting level has gone back up to a diabetic level again of 7.3mmo/l and I have to wait until Monday to see my GP for him to tell me what my average blood sugar level has been with regards to my HbA1c test as the receptionist...

I came here for advice and support in December 2013 with an OGTT looming, I was very anxious about this test in December. Anyway I finally had my OGTT and I got levels of 6.8mmo/l, 6.7mmo/l and 4.8mmo/l which ruled out diabetes. However I am still retching and dry heaving everyday and since I...

It wasn't half as bad as what I had expected to be honest! I have to wait 3 working days for my full results! My initial finger prick sample measured 6.8. I then had an immediate blood sample from my arm and then a final blood sample from my arm exactly 2 hours later. All in all the nurses were...

My readings of 6.7 and 7.9 are very low in comparison to some of the other threads I have read on this forum where people have had sugar levels of 17.1, 20, 32, etc, etc. My seem very healthy and perfectly normal when you compare them to the 3 values I just mentioned. Surely my GP can determine...

I have a morbid fear of anything medical/hospitals. The thought of having to give 3 samples of blood in 2 hours is daunting and also the fact that I cant leave the hospital waiting room petrifies me. And worse still when I get nervous I chew gum or suck on mints but to add insult to injury I...

Would losing my job and a death in the family affect my blood sugar levels??? E.G. I lost my job of 7 years suddenly on 23.09.2013 and then my Nan died on 29.09.2013 and I was hysterical and in pieces. Less than 24 hours later I had my Blood Glucose Sample on 30.09.2013 and I produced a sample...

Are sweeteners allowed for diabetics? E.G. I love sugar free mints but they contain sweeteners, would that be bad?

On my sheet it s "You must not take alcohol the night before the test" On another British website it states that you must not take alcohol for 48 hours before the test. Others say you can smoke and others say you cannot smoke before the test??? Why is alcohol not permitted before the test? Does...
