[QUOTE="azure, post: 1344808, member: 39639"] Only a doctor can diagnose you [USER=366324]@s_irvine[/USER] Theres no reason to think an HbA1C will be inaccurate :) Just to reassure you, non-diabetics can spike up to 10+ after eating on occasions. That's why the diagnostic criteria mentions a blood sugar above 11.1. If you're not keen on a blood test, how about an oral glucose tolerance test? That can be done at your surgery :) [/QUOTE]
