[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1683815, member: 94045"] We cannot diagnose you. Only a doctor can do that. Random tests are normally a waste of time and money because they tell you nothing unless you know exactly when they were taken and what you had been doing in the hour or so beforehand. Fasting tests in the mornings should be taken as soon as you get up and certainly before any exercise, including showers. Yes, exercise changes blood glucose levels especially on an empty stomach. If you are very concerned, the best thing to do is test yourself before a normal, typical meal and 2 hours later. Forget the morning fasting as they are too unreliable and many factors other than food play a role. [/QUOTE]
