With absolute thanks to everyone that has taken their valuable time to help me, I have now booked the OGTT and the Insulin test. I wouldn't have known where to begin here, and with your help I feel so much more confident about all this. Is it bad etiquette to return here after my tests if I am...

During the Specialist's appointment he mentioned the C-Peptide test, but said that we can do the OGTT and see what the result is first before seeing if the C-Peptide test is required. However, I must say that after being on here, I have far more faith in the opinions of you guys! I very much...

I am really touched by the kindness of the people here - I cant thank you enough. The need for the OGTT is to bypass the blood Hemaglobin as my Beta Thallasaemia trait might be interfering with the HbA1c readings. So we did the Fasting Plasma Glucose test (advised by my GP as they dont do the...

Firstly, may I thank you all for taking the time to help me with this issue. you have been really kind to respond. I hope I'm not boring you with too many details, but I had a rather poor diet and during routine blood tests was told my HbA1c was 43. From that day, I completely changed my diet...

I am potentially prediabetic (42 - HbA1C) and am looking for some advice on finding a place to have an Oral Glucose Tolerance test done privately. I was recommended a place that was going to charge about £850 for this test, then a further £200 to see a specialist to go through the results with...
