After adding up my symptoms and not being able to get a Dr appointment until next week, I bought a meter and took my own tests.
Last night after work, the boss bought us some pizza for a job well done, when I got home and having drunk nothing but water I took a test and got a reading of 6,.0 which I understand is quite normal.
This morning after a 12 hour fast I took another reading and it was 6.2, which as I understand it puts me on the verge of a Prediabetes diagnosis, (all to be confirm when I finally can see my GP. Can't just go and sit in the GP's office and hope to be seen as I have to work and look after the kids etc so it'll have to wait until next weeks appointment).
Can anyone confirm or deny those numbers.
I obviously realise this is just a single test, uncontrolled and unscientific but its what I have at hand today.
Thank you
