[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 929304, member: 94045"] The current NICE guidelines for the NHS state that if a person's fasting blood glucose test is 7 or above it should be followed by an HbA1c. This is why I am very surprised you haven't had one. My own surgery is even going straight to an HbA1c without the FBG test as the FBGT are notoriously unreliable due to many factors, and are only a snapshot of what your level was at the time of the test. An HbA1c will tell you a sort of average of your levels over the previous 2 to 3 months. [/QUOTE]
