Hi All,
I have had problems with my vision, headaches,tiredness and sores and blisters on my feet.
Optiction has prescribed me stronger glasses and said the pretty blurry lights were migraine auras.the feet I was given cream for by the practice nurse several months ago still no better and incredible itchy !
My sister was diabetic and my maternal aunt is.
Quite a few years ago I had the hb? Blood test and told it was borderline and given diet advice.
I have several medical conditions
Brittle asthma ( long term steriod use )
Hypothyroidism
Osteoarthritis
Cervical spondylistis
B12 defiencey
Fibromyalgia
IBS
Reflux
So as you can imagine a lot of medication !
I wondered about diabetes re the headaches/vision/feet thing going on so brought a testing kit (accu-chek compact plus) on my first test a couple of hours after I had eaten it was 13.8
So tonight I tested it at 8pm and it was 6.3 , I had a crumpet and a drink (j20) the readings I got after were as follows
20:31 8.4
21:40 12:0
22:36. 14.3
11pm 12.6 3hrs after eating its startIng to drop.
I intend to take it in the morning to see what its like after not eating for 12hrs.
My questions are ( sorry for the essay ! ) when should the level drop ?
6.3 I presume is normal ish, if I go to the dr where he will do a finger prick test and got 6.3 I guess he will say alls ok?
Do the higher readings indicate diabetes ?
Many thanks all
