    Bread!!!

    I'm new to this, only diagnosed about 3 weeks ago, but I'm finding bread raises my BG whether it be white (worst), wholemeal or granary. Need to think of something other that sandwiches to bring to work for lunch. Any suggestions?

    Help with results please!!

    I've just had my results today, fasting 7.1 and after glucose 12.3. The doctor wants me to go back for a fasting test on Thursday. 2 weeks ago fasting was 7.4. I haven't been told if I am diabetic yet, hoping to find out more from the nurse on Thursday. What do you guys think?

    I'm being tested for Diabetes and confused with the readings

    Hi, I had a fasting blood result of 7.4 so my doctor asked me to do a glucose tolerance test, I'm waiting for the results. Are you automatically Diabetic if your fasting result is over 7.0 or does it depend on the result 2 hours after the glucose drink?
