[QUOTE="daddys1, post: 831813, member: 134619"] Hi @[URL='http://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/members/galathea.161668/']Galathea[/URL] I notice you say you are Pre Diabetic, the numbers you are quoting a very high from one meal. You mention that your Doctor asks you to go for a fasting test, but that is only a moment in time, normally diagnosis is made by also a HbA1c. You should ask for one of these and you can get a print out of the results. This test measures your average blood sugars over the last 2/3 months. The scale is slightly different, but a number between HbA1c of 41 & 47 is Pre diabetic 48 plus, you would be diagnosed as diabetic. To be Pre Diabetic you would have to [B]averaging[/B] 7.7 mmol/L or less on your meter. Diabetic, is an average of approx 7.8mmol/L & above The tomatoes were they tinned or fresh. Tinned have a lot more carbs than fresh. Any sauces a sweet, drinks etc Neil [/QUOTE]
