[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1544690, member: 41816"] Can I ask what makes you say that your blood glucose is only slightly higher than it should be? Are you relying on your HbA1c test for that? Or are you testing to see if your blood glucose is spiking high after food, or dropping low at certain times? The HbA1c is just an indicator of your blood glucose average, and won't really give you an idea of your highs and lows - both of which can make you feel pretty grotty. And did your doc give you an actual figure for your blood test result? Always worth asking for the details, and a printout of the results. Then you can come home and do some research online. Sometimes docs are very vague, or economical with the truth, which actually makes us feel we are doing fine, when really we are not. They think they are protecting us, or maybe they simply can't face being questioned for answers on the detail, but it is ALWAYS worth getting as much info as possible. You asked if it could be something other than D making you feel rough - and the answer is yes, any number of other things could make you feel lacking in energy, so always work going to the doc and asking for a checkup. :) [/QUOTE]
