[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1625991, member: 94045"] In that case, your doctor should have ordered an immediate HbA1c test. The guidelines for doctors are that if a fasting glucose test indicates a problem, it should be followed up with an HbA1c straight away - not 3 months down the line. A correct T2 diagnosis cannot be made on the basis of a single FBG test. They are highly unreliable for many reasons, although as 14 is high, it does indicate a problem. Your best bet would be to buy a blood glucose meter and plenty of test strips. With this you can check your levels at home, and can also use it to help you formulate a diet that suits you (alongside a detailed food diary) If you decide to buy one we can help you use it to your best advantage.
