Hi everyone! Please help me understand what is going on with me. Had pregnancy with gestational diabetes. After delivery in 3 month I had OGTT and I was wearing libre 2 during this test. Here is my lab results: fasting 5.2, after 2 hours 5.7. Both times libre was incredibly close to lab...

Hi all, I think I'm starting to get up to speed on getting to grips with BG monitoring using a Libre 2 CGM and a T200+ BGM. However, conversion between measurement units is causing me problems, and I'm trying to figure out how to set my target range on the Librelink app (Android) for my...

Hi, I’m 59 years old and have been informed that I am prediabetic which has come as a surprise. I am a ‘good’ weight with a healthy BMI of 21.9. I eat a healthy diet with plenty of fresh fruit and veg, fish and occasional meat. However, I do eat far too much fruit so cutting that down, and I do...

Hi, Hope someone can shed some light on this... In March, had several episodes of going hypo whilst out walking - felt dreadful, ate lots & rested, felt better. In April, had standard health check and was told I was prediabetic (HBA1C 42). My brother is Type 2 diabetic and my son is Type 1 so...

Good morning, I have some questions concerning my situation. My GP believes that I'm at risk of developing diabetes because of my HbA1c result more than a year ago (5.8%, 40mmol/mol). Because of this, I modified my diet a bit, and the most recent HbA1c result at the end of August 2023 was 5.4%...

Good afternoon, A couple of years ago, my doctor prescribed some blood tests. The outcome of the HbA1c was 41 mmol/mol (5.9%), just below the pre-diabetes level. It was strange because my glucose levels had always been fine. Following the outcome of the blood test, I kept getting tested with...

Hello, I am now 43. I've had some cholesterol for years (family issue) and was advised to change my lifestyle. I also have fatty liver. All blood tests for liver functions have always been fine. Cholesterol has never been very high so I was advised to keep it under control with diet and...

I am a 48 year old French chap so my English is not perfect. I registered on this diabetes forum because there is no such a forum in French. My history of prediabetes and peripheral neuropathy misdiagnosis continues. In Part 1: I explained my early symptoms (initially some mild numbness and...

Prediabetic again according to my GP. The last time I managed to not be prediabetic I just stayed off the Malteser boxes and it made a difference. I've been referred to the NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme through my GP. I only went to the GP due to my consistently fat ankles and feet. My mum...

Hello everybody, I've got tested for summary pool of IgG antibodies for both GAD and IA2 (one test). Reference range is <4 IU/ml and my result is 1.48. I want to ask, should this result be totally 0 for a healthy person, or most of people will have a few antibodies in them? Does presence of...

Hi all, A couple of weeks ago, I had a few blood tests to 'reassure me' that an ongoing illness was probably psychosomatic. Within those tests, my HbA1c was 'high' (wasn't told the number). I went for fasting blood glucose test last week, and just rang up the doctor for my results. The...

Good evening everyone. I am 42 years old and I live in Brazil. In the last month I had routine tests that showed pre-diabetes, but some people questioned this diagnosis because it was on a borderline between normal and diabetes. Maybe I'm still not accepting this new condition and I'm trying to...

Hi all, I was diagnosed with pre-diabetes in a regular blood test as the value was between 42-47 (43). I knew I had to loss weight but this was definitely the trigger. I enrolled in a prediabetes plan with the NHS and started to do more exercise and be very strict with the diet. The result is...

For about two-three years I have been experiencing some concerning symptoms. Mainly, not long after I have a meal I start feeling extremely tired, drowsy, and as if the blood in my body is burning (very uncomfortable). I tested my glucose last year two times. First time it tested 5.6 and the...

Hi everyone, Nice to meet you all. [squints] Good-looking crowd! So, in December I had a Hb1ac test and it came back as 42. This did not surprise me, for several reasons. First, all my life I've had an extremely sweet tooth. In 2021, and especially over the summer months, my overindulgence...

Following my recent HBA1c test, I received the following text message from my registered GP: “Your blood sugar level has increased from 42 to 44 since you last spoke to Dr [Niceguy] in Dec 2020, which suggests that you were not successful in the lifestyle measures you were planning to take.”...

Hello! I’m very new here but am hoping for some help/advice! For the past few months I’ve been experiencing a lot of symptoms of insulin resistance - lethargy, difficulty concentrating, skin discolourisation (which I suspect is acanthosis nigiricans but the GP is very dismissive of my concerns)...
