I am supposedly prediabetic. I bought a meter and have had good readings until yesterday. Went for a Chinese meal for my son's birthday and had 11.2 result 2 hours after meal. Tonight had salad with burgen bread, cheese and red onion chutney toastie with a 2 hour result of 9.6. Does this mean I now type 2 diabetic?
Hi, I don't know when you were diagnosed Pre Diabetic, but bear in mind these figures are a snap shot in time. Diabetes, is usually diagnosed when you have an HbA1c of 48 or more and that would be an average of your blood sugars over the last 2/3 months. 48 = 6.5mmol/l as an average
It's clearly something you have to watch, I was Pre Diabetic and then went and got diagnosed borderline. but now I have switched to a Low Carb High Fat Diet, I am out of the diabetic range.
You need to check your fasting, I'm not sure but anything over 7mmol/l on a regular basis would be classed as diabetic.
I can only manage 1 slice of bread at a time even if it's the burgen.
Do you have any weight to lose because that can help.
I'm off to bed now but please ask as many questions as you want.
Neil
