Thank you I just did not understand it. My hba1c was the same about 2 months ago. I will take any help they can give me I started Slimming world several months back but my hba1c still went up. I was advised to cut down on the fruit though.

So why has she said I am diabetic and not pre my lart dasting blood was 6.9 so it has come down and yet she still is saying I am diabetic

Hi all I have just been to the doctors and my blood test results are hba1c 6.5% and fasting 6.1 but the doctors say I am diabetic. I thought it would be pre diabetes. Any ideas? Thanks

I have been told I am borderline diabetic so pre diabetic really. I am still getting used to what I can eat. At the moment I can't eat bread, pasta or rice. I get very tired if I eat any of these, wholemeal or not. My morning bg is about 6.4 and the other day I had a chicken salad wrap and my bg...

Hi All Well this seems to be going on for ages. Why is it so hard to get a definite answer. On a recent trip to the doctors, to get my results, I entered the doctors office and she said "Now shall we say you are diabetic or not" well I thought you are the doctor surely that is your decision. I...

Hi all I am going for my OGTT tomorrow and have been told nothing about the test. I was given a blood test form and thats it nothing said. However, I remember reading somewhere it was a fasting test. I have waited weeks for this test and don' t want to go again. Currently my bs is 10.9 3.5...

Ok that makes sense. It was normal lucozade and normal size. Yes tested after 2 hours but i didn't know about glucose and fructose. I have heard the ogtt is horible. How does it work? What if the results are <7.8 is that non diabetic? Why is it needed? Sorry for all the questions :-)

Sorry forgot to mention that when my bg was 9.0mmol i also had glucose in my urine.

hi all I had been to the doctors to say i had been feeling unwell. I also mentioned that as my dad is diabetic i did a fasting finger prick test which was 7.0mmol. She said to have another one done, this time it was 6.4mmol. Now she has suggested a glucose tolerance test. I did actually do this...

Thanks My bloods have been between min 6.5 max 12.2 but i have not had a 4.6 for ages. It seems odd to have the shakes with a bs thats not under 3.

Gosh there are so many things to understand. Even though i only have pre diabetes i am really struggling my fasting blood is normally about 6.5 post meal about 8.5-9.5 and takes along time to come down but today 5 hours after eating lunch i felt very shaky and weak. I tested my blood and it was...

Well my bg when i had my first fasting glucose was 6.5 making me pre diabetic. I was told to exercise and watch my diet. However since then my fasing is about 7 and 3-4 hours after i eat my bg is about 8. So not really high just constantly higher than normal. I have another blood test Monday. I...

Thanks for the reply Currently i am on diet only but the last week or so my sugars are slow to come down from their peak. My morning sugar is about 7 - 7.5mmol

Does anyone know why my blood glucose is still up at 8.5 mmol 4 hours after a meal? I dont know why it takes so long for it to drop. It seems that just as its starting to go down its time to eat again. It driving me crazy. Thanks

Do doctors still rely on oral glucose tests? This would possibly be the next step. My previous fasting blood 6 months ago was 5.8

Hi I was just told to watch my weight no firm diagnosis as yet. I had a dinner consisting of breaded fish with sliced potato and peas. Not to fatty i dont think. The reason i tested my blood was my dad has t2 and i used a urinalysis diastix which changed colour so he told me to test my blood

hi I did my blood glucose 2 hours after eating and it was 9.9 then again at 3.5 hours and it was 10.1. I thought after 2 hours it should start to come down. My fasting test was 8.5 one test and second 6.4. I was advised to watch what i eat however 8 months ago i had normal fasting. Then i did...

Hi thank you all Will try the docs this week.

Hi once again Just an update as I am feeling a bit low at the moment. I went out for a Chinese with some friends tonight, I know really stupid. When i got home I tested my blood sugar, Just to keep a check, don't want to be obsessive about it. Any way I had eaten quite a lot carb heavy.My blood...
