[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1964928, member: 94045"] If this was your HbA1c, it is not high enough to be called high. It is in the non-diabetic range. I wonder if it could have been your cholesterol? In future, after every blood test, you need to ask for a print out of the results. Once a doctor has seen the results, the receptionist will be able to print it off for you. If you live in England you can also ask to see your test results (and other things) on-line as all surgeries in England are supposed to offer this service. You have to register for this service. The receptionist should be able to help you. I mention this because it is very, very important that we know what our results are - the actual levels - which tests we had, and what all the levels were. In addition to blood glucose it will include cholesterol. lipids, liver & kidney functions and any others thrown in. They are all equally important markers for us. [/QUOTE]
