[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2695205, member: 372717"] Just wondering what you mean by very high readings? My father (now 93) has had T2 for about 20 years now, and they are a lot more relaxed about his hba1c levels than they were when he was in his seventies. So I wouldn't necessarily assume that they'll want to medicate even if you do come up as officially diabetic. But if you're actually getting symptoms associated with high blood sugars (usually those over 10mmol/L because that is the point that sugar is passed through the urine), it's definitely worth getting that checked out. (Having had both thrush and UTIs in the past, both presumably caused by too high blood sugars, I would recommend talking to your GP about your symptoms and getting them treated.) I stress that I'm not a doctor, so don't know if you actually have either of those conditions. Good luck and please don't panic. There are a lot of treatments available for diabetics in your situation and you don't even know if you are diabetic yet. [/QUOTE]
