[QUOTE="MimT, post: 2696693, member: 585741"] Earlier this year my GP warned me my fasting blood glucose was "almost" in the pre-diabetic range. It was 6mmol/L which, if I'd been in the US, would have put me squarely in the pre-diabetic range (US only) I believe, if there was a corresponding test to confirm it. I asked about other tests like HbA1c, but she was not inclined to order them, telling me she thought next year would be time enough to see what happens. (She did offer another fasting test this year if I really wanted it, but I took her advice and will wait till next year's tests). However she did firmly warn me about diet - to cut down carbs, particularly simple carbs, sugars etc. which I've done. I can tell I have a problem through monitoring my blood glucose via finger tip testing. It spikes too high if I eat some things. That might be an idea if you're not sure about the diagnosis but want to err on the side of caution. [/QUOTE]
