My first enquiry. I have been very thirsty lately, tired. So I use my husbands blood test kit and found my blood sugar to be 12. I did it again in the evening and it was 11.2. I am a little concerned as I dont know much about this.

Blood sugar levels are put into the following categories:
Normal: 4.0 to 5.9 mmol/l (70 to 107 mg/dl)
Prediabetes or Impaired Glucose Glycemia: 6.0 to 6.9 mmol/l (108 to 126 mg/dl)
Diagnosis of diabetes: more than 6.9 mmol/l (126 mg/dl)
Certainly sounds like your symptoms http://www.diabetesplan.org/diabetes-symptoms/ could be compatible with diabetes so you may want to get them checked out,

Those would be fasting levels? For my Type 1 daughter normal levels would be between 4 and 8.

Just to make things absolutely clear, Pat is talking about fasting levels. For random blood tests, which OP did, the diagnostic criteria is more than 11.1mmol/l (two tests in the absence of classical symptoms). Either way you should go see your doctor however[email protected] said:
