[QUOTE="iainmay, post: 208923, member: 36320"] Right, I had a fasting blood done at the docs a week or so ago and it came back with a 9.7 blood glucose, this means that I have an appointment with the practice diabetic nurse next week. Not being the kind of person to stand on ceremony, I've done a bunch of research, changed my diet, quit smoking, bought a blood glucose analyser... So I measured last night, at 9:30 (3 hrs after my evening meal) - 5.9 measured again first thing this morning (07:30) -7.6 1 hr after breakfast (08:00) 6.4 (porridge) 2 hr after breakfast 6.7 12:00 hrs, just before lunch 5.7 (pasta and meatballs) 14:00 hrs - 6.4 Now I was about to take a rennie as I have had acid for the first time in a week (thanks to the new diet) when I realised that I probably had at least 2 before I had the original blood test thats given me the diagnosis... questions: Do these numbers look normal/diabetic (i know the 7.6 in the morning is high, but its not 9.7!) will rennie have that much of a pronounced effect? I note that it contains glucose among other sugars...? Is it possible that though the diet change this week I have already bought it under control and thats why the numbers are what they are? Or am I barking up totally the wrong tree? Any advice appreciated, because currently im very confused. Iain [/QUOTE]
