I thought that too? I'm not sure? I was just told my results were satisfactory and to come back in 2 weeks. I asked am i diabetic and they said no Pre-Diabetes? I have requested another Doctor call me to confirm - I read the cut off was 48 but they said as I have no symptoms its pre-diabetes...

Well I got my HB1ac results and they have confirmed I am Pre-diabetic. I Went from 51 to 49 in 2 weeks and I need another re-test in 2 weeks. I also got my cholesterol down from 5.9 back to 5.2. Am hoping to lower HB1ac more by the next test. This is the kick up the bum unneeded! Low carbs and...

He sounds like a Delight! I find it hard to believe if you've been through a menopause at 37 (like me) you'd go through it again at 48/49?? Bizarre and I hope he is wrong for both our sakes lol.

I went through an early menopause at 39 - I wonder if early menopause and diabetes are related?

Thank you all.. you are all so helpful! X

I am in total denial!!! Have my blood test in 30 mins and have convinced myself I've dropped 3 or more points in 2 weeks... my goodness I'll be in for a shock tomorrow when I get the results....

Slabs of chocolate haha god you sound like me! Slabs of Chocolate is probably why I am in this predicament!!! Not sure how I'll live without them!!!

Thank u

Thank you - yes I have a meter and test constantly!My finger is like a pin cushion!! Its currently 4.2 but I've not eaten since breakfast (busy day). 2 hours after tea last night it was 8.2, I walk the dog and 20 minutes later it was 6.2?

You've been so helpful - thank you! This is a massive wake up call for me and a good excuse to drop some weight!!!

Thank you for this! So are you now not classed as diabetic? Having a normal Hb1ac level does it mean you can basically eat when you like (obviously within reason!) and not need to worry about testing? I am hoping to loose few stone as I can only guess my T2 has been caused by weight gain (all...

Thank you x

Hello I am after some advise before my blood test tomorrow please - in November 2015 my 1ac test came back at 46, pre-diabetic, but for some reason I was not explained by the Doctor how serious this could be, I was just told to keep an eye on it as it could develop into Diabetes in a few years...
