[QUOTE="clearviews, post: 110665, member: 20752"] Recently my husband asked for a print out of all his BG test results which the doc happily gave him. 2006 his fasting level was 5.8 a month later he was sent for a FGTT. His fasting level was 5.5 then his reading 2 hours after the glucose drink was 3.4. 2009 his fasting level was 6.0 so he was sent for another FGTT. This time the fasting level was 5.5 and two hours later he was 2.7 His (new) dctor told him that he was just fine and that 2.7 was a nice low figure. I was astounded. I re-read my literature by Atkins and Bernstein. The indication is that he may well be classed as pre-diabetic (impaired). The other problem with the last test is he has been moderate low carbing for 4 months and I now understand that one should eat a full blown carb diet for 3 days prior to the FGTT. The pathology report even helpfully printed an 'H' beside all his fasting BGL and a 'L' beside the 2 hours after results so their parameters do seem to concur with my reading. His BMI was 30.1 then 29.5 and now 27.5 and he is 59 years old. Would the learned crew suggest that he gets a second opinion? [/QUOTE]
