Hi Alison, I'm using an Accu-Check Mobile. I'm using the NICE recommended levels as per the table on this site. It says post prandial should be 7.8 or below. Going back through my records the range of my readings are between 5.9 and 6.6. I'm going to try to speak to my GP about my concerns and...

Hi Avocado Sevenfold, thats a really good point you make. As i said in an earlier post, when i look at the big picture HbA1C is in range, post eating readings are in range, fasting glucose is out of range. However, its only by listening to the contributors on here that I now realise that my...

Hi BarbaraG, thanks for your input. Thats a really interesting point you make about the discrepancy. I will investigate the Freestyle Libre as you suggest because it seems that is the only way i will get to the crux of what is going on. Another contributor suggested earlier that my high levels...

Hiya Bluetit, i test at midnight (always in range) just as i,m going to bed and then test again at 5,15 am (range between 6.2 and 7.6) if i continue to fast my levels stay high but if i have food and test again after 2 hrs i'm always in range. On that evidence it suggests that my pancreas is...

Thanks Leslie10152, GP here I come!

Hi CherryAA, thanks for your input. I'm 55, reduced my HbA1C from 47 to 40 over the last 2 years by following DR Michael Moseley's blood sugar diet, which is essentially a low carb plan. I've lost 2 stone but still have a further 2 to go to get in healthy BMI range. My pre food and post food...

Hi Alison, thanks for your input. I've been working at reducing my HbA1C from 47 down to 40 for 2 years now utilising the techniques you refer to but my fasting levels are consistently high and have not reduced at all whilst at the same time my HbA1C has shown much improvement over the same...

Hi Bluetit, Thanks for your input. My pre sleep levels are always in range, I've been having food 2.5 hours before i go to bed and test 2 hours after i've had this food (only a snack). I work 6 days per week and usually get 5 hours max sleep on these 6 nights. What is interesting is that when i...

Hi Azure, Its the fasting blood glucose levels that are causing my concern because they contradict my HbA1C reading?

Normal fasting levels on this table show below 6.1?

Hi All, My HbA1C is 40 which i believe is in normal range i.e not diabetic or pre-diabetic. Just tested 14 consecutive days for fasting blood glucose and 11 of the readings were above 6.1 - i.e above normal range. Conflicting results causing much confusion. To muddy the waters even further, when...
