Would appreciate opinions please.
Had a fasting blood test July 2017 which was 5.4. Then in March 2018 another fbt which was 7.6 - really shocked at this as I hadn't had any symptoms, diet seemed ok and walked 1/2 miles most days. Had GTT two weeks later Fbt 5.6 then two hours later over 13. Now my question is - on the 7.6 Fbt could being ill the previous month affect it, I was also very anxious at the time over something else and also the test was at 11.00 in the morning. Question about GTT -would being on a low carb diet for two weeks prior to the test have given a false outcome. Thanks for your time and appreciate any opinions.
