[QUOTE="lindaswinburn, post: 772020, member: 49256"] I saw my doctor about getting my bloods done. Since I was on long term steroids my blood sugars have been slowly climbing. My fasting sugars are usually between 5.4 and 5.9 mmols but after a meal it can be anything between 7 and 9.6. I did have a one off of13. My GP has made me an appointment to have my bloods checked but he said my sugar would need to be over 13 to be confirmed diabetes. I think he is wrong. I would say over 7.5 on a number if occasions. I just have to wait and see what my hbA1c is. I asked him if they come back normal could I have a glucose tolerance test. What figure would others say would confirm diabetes (in glucose and hbA1c?
