Hi
I'm in a bit of a confused state and need some advice.
In December I had a fasting blood test done to check my cholesterol levels (have had very high readings for a while) anyway it came back with a blood glucose level of 6.7. My Doctor siad it was nothing to worry about but last week whilst having my smear test done, the paractise nurse, who is also the paractise diabetic nurse noticed the results and immediately said she wanted more fasting tests and glucose tolerance tests run. (Having those tomorrow!) My dad lent me his spare blood testing monitor and i've been testing my blood at home, the results vary between 7.8 some mornings and 11 yesterday morning, my dad reckons I've got a problem - I just wanted to hear from others whether they agree with him.
