[QUOTE="catinahat, post: 929292, member: 155453"] If you didn't have a HbA1c test your Dr has used just the FGT test to make his diagnosis [SIZE=5][B]Fasting Plasma Glucose Test (FGT)[/B][/SIZE] The FGT test works by measuring the level of glucose in an individual's blood after a period of fasting. Anyone who is at a high risk of pre-diabetes should be given the FPG test. This includes those who are severely overweight or obese, people of South Asian or African-Caribbean descent, or anyone with a family history of diabetes. The fasting plasma glucose test is performed after a person fasts for at least 8 hours. Individuals who have a blood glucose level [B]greater than or equal to [B]7.0 mmol/L[/B][/B] (126 mg/dl) will be retested and[B], [/B]if the results are consistent[B],[/B] diagnosed with diabetes. If the results are[B]less than 7.0 mmol/L[/B](126 mg/dl) but [B]greater than 6.1 mmol/L[/B](110 mg/dl) the individual will be diagnosed as having impaired fasting glucose, or pre-diabetes. As bluetit1802 said your levels are in the diabetic range, you need to go back and ask for a re-test [/QUOTE]
