[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 845919, member: 21149"] Hi. Yes, the HBa1C test is quite strange. By analysing the red cells it is possible to determine the average blood sugar over the preceeding 3 months but it is weighted to the last month or so based around red cell lifetime. It looks like they didn't do an HBa1C test. The random blood test which you did have according to the form is a guide to diabetes if it's quite high but you do need another test and/or HBa1C to really confirm. I'm not sure what to suggest. I would have the right low-carb diet and return to the GP after 3 months and ask for another test including HBa1C. Once diagnosed at you appear to be, then it is normal to be given an Hba1C test after 3 months and then annually together with other checks at an annual review. [/QUOTE]
