    Bad experience with home HbA1c test

    When I did a home test, it came with a much bigger pricker, which let out much more blood. Are sure yours didn't come with one?

    Non-diabetic hyperglycemia is pre-diabetes in England, just a name change.

    It might sound daft and not meant to seem negative, but it is worth looking at the Appeals procedure.

    Type 2 Fasting blood test

    No, but have been asked to have a fasting test for a fasting problem, which doesn't make sense.

    Glucose tolerance test

    The failure was the start of 7.3 and finish of 8.1. My Hba1c at the time were 26 & 24. I wasn't given any info about preparation for the test, went for a 2 hr walk, also have White coat syndrome.

    Glucose tolerance test

    I've only seen the before and after ranges for the official test, which I failed(for several reasons). But the difference was only 0.8, not seen any mention of differences.

    Type 2 At what point does Insulin become necessary?

    Just the usual food suggestions - Do you keep a food diary? Do all foods give those readings or are some better than others? Have you tried 8 hour eating periods? Or longer fasting? Or smaller portions?

    My surgery has Patient Access, can also use the NHS app(don't have to use the Covid passport) and MyGP app, doesn't have graphs, but does group results together if you click on one of the group.
