Blood test results?

Digsysdinner said:
Spoke to my docters receptionist for blood test results, she told me my hba1c was 144. Is this a normal level for someone without diabetes?

In a word, no!

The threshold for diagnosis of diabetes in the UK is 48. If it hasn’t been requested by the surgery, I’d recommend you seek an appointment with your GP.

Do you have other symptoms of diabetes?

I dont think the docter is worried as the receptionist says he hasnt flagged it and no further action. I have all the symptoms

Could it possibly have been 44 and not 144? if it was 44 then the doctor may well not be concerned - though 44 is still pre-diabetes.
 
If you have all the symptoms then those need addressing whether your test result is high, or not, and whether those symptoms are caused by diabetes, or something different.

So I would ring the surgery again and ask for an appt to discuss the next step.

good luck with it, and please let us know how you get on. :)
 
Just Spoke to my docter and he said 144 was not my hba1c it was my B somthing level and I hadn't had my hba1c tested this time. Cant understand what's up with me, my symptoms are so much like diabetes, wish I could find the answer. Thankyou for all the help x
