[QUOTE="Squire Fulwood, post: 973825, member: 44622"] Readings taken at home are unacceptable for a formal diagnosis but if we assume for the purposes of the argument that those readings were taken at the surgery. A random test (don't know when you last ate) of 10.4 does not quite come up to the 11.0 needed to gain the doctor's interest although it is definitely a heads up. A fasting reading of 9.1 is higher than the 7.0 required and two such results would define you as diabetic. Your doctor may well do an Hba1c test which is another type of blood test where it takes a few days to get the results but it gives a much more clear idea of how your blood sugars have been for several weeks prior to the test. Your other symptoms could be anything including diabetes. [/QUOTE]
