Trying to get the issue cleared up but at the moment both disagreeing with each other, which doesn't really help. I think diabetic clinic is looking at result of my test and looking at my diabetic future but GP may play on safe side and try to protect from what could happen or maybe I wrong on...

Diabetic clinic doctor told me "you could do retest but wouldn't really useful because you did one this morning and it was normal". Sorry should of said GP results was completed on 14 May 2013 so maybe out of date because made real changes to my diabetes. I think I am going with diabetes...
