Hello All
First time on here so sorry if im asking this in the wrong place.
Was diagnosed as a type 2 a few months ago after a visit to the docs for a Urine infection, i handed in a urine sample which they tested for an infection BUT they also found glucose in my urine.
The doctor ordered a fasting blood test which came in at 8.5 SO he ordered another test which came in at 8. ?? cant remember the exact number.
I had no symptoms of diabetes that are mentioned on the different threads on this forum.
Was told that i could control it with diet and exercise, sent to see a dietician and off i went.
I did not eat much sugary stuff anyway so nowt i could cut out there. i am still eating the same diet of LOADS of carbs only really stopped drinking coke etc.
Now i went and got a test meter as i was still not convinced i was diabetic
Most mornings my fasting levels are 6.9 - 7.9
Before food can be 5.5
One hour after food can be upto 11.0 ish and 2 hours after food can be back to 5.5
Now does that sound like a diabetic result??
Apart from Morning fasting im at normal levels the rest of the day, peak one hour after food but by 2 hours can be normal levels.
If i have read other posts correctly then everyone peaks after food SO with this in mind
AM I DIABETIC????????????????
OH when i feel very tired after eating, dont know if this is relevant or not.
