[QUOTE="AndBreathe, post: 1367818, member: 88961"] An HbA1c of 35 is a very good score, and certainly well, well into non-diabetic ranges. A diabetes diagnosis kicks in at 48, so you're some way off that. The random score of 8.9 isn't that high, if you had just eaten something with carbs in, plus sometimes our random bloods can go up a bit in stressful situations, just for a short while, so I wouldn't be overly concerned about it, bearing in mind you say you had just eaten. Fatigue is associated with so many conditions, including diabetes, and it's not unusual for folks to see their Doctor feeling tired and wiped out, to find they have had high blood sugars, but that's usually diagnosed from a higher number than 8.9 , and usually backed up by an HbA1c, so please do be comforted that he does just seem to be being thorough. There are so many people who find their GPs less attentive than you have found, and would love your GP to be theirs, so please try to get your head around the concept that he really is trying to look after you, and look after you well. I hope you manage to get your thyroid sorted out, because it's a pretty miserable situation when it's all out of kilter. [/QUOTE]
