Just wondering, what are the odds of the prick test and HbA1c both failing to detect a legitimate case of diabetes? As we all know, the prick test isn't the most accurate, and the HbA1c uses the average amount over a period of time. Say you just develop diabetes, for maybe 1 week or so, the...

Everyone must be thinking I'm mad, I myself think I'm slightly too, but IT'S JUST SO WORRYSOME. I know my HbA1c and prick test turned out find, but a GP told me both aren't accurate diagnostic tools for diabetes. I could have a perfectly normal reading for both, yet suffer from the disease. I...

Just got my blood tests results back. Doctor knew I was travelling soon and worried, thus expedited the test. (: So for my initial prick test done at a government clinic: Fasting Prick Test - 5.5 The results I received about 30 minutes ago: Glucose (Fasting) 70 mg/dL HbA1c - 5.1% Should I...

Hey LittleGreyCat Thanks for the prompt and lengthy reply once again. I saw it here: https://www.liverdoctor.com/high-blood-sugar-damaging/ I have been drinking sufficient water for the thirst, but agree that I could also be overthinking due to anxiety. Whatever it is, I really detest and...

Hi, thanks for the reply! You are spot on about be being anxious. I'm a wreck when it comes to health related stuff, otherwise I'm super positive. :( Didn't do any advance testing with the third doctor because of 2 reasons: 1. The cost 2. They couldn't rush my results before I fly off on...

Also, I'm REALLY NEW to this diet plan thingy. Am a total amateur to calorie counting or knowing how much specific weight of protein or fat I need to eat relative to my body weight and physical activities. These are what I had today in an attempt to minimize carbs intake: Morning - ice coffee...

Thanks everyone for the positive feedback. Yea as I grow older, I started to realise many staples that I grew up eating are in fact culprit of Diabetes. As a Chinese, I can't do without my rice, although I have gradually started asking for less or even halved portions. Persuaded parents to...

Hi everyone, chanced upon this site and have been reading it for about a week, so glad to have a platform to share everything and get encouragement. My situation right now has me in constant fear and possibly anxiety attacks, and I pray nothing's wrong with me. Little bit of about myself...
