[QUOTE="gonpanning, post: 72774, member: 18678"] Many thanks for the welcome, and the advice. Clueless doesn't begin to describe my doctors! I've just come back from there, and I've been told I have a normal fasting level, and diabetic post glucose levels (with levels of 5.6/12.7 mmol). Somehow, from that they've said I've got impaired glucose tolerance. I see that the guidelines define it as fasting plasma glucose concentration of less than 7.0 mmol/l with a two-hour oral glucose tolerance test value of 7.8 to 11.1 mmol/l, though there's lot of debate about whether this is set too high anyway. I guess that's what I get for checking myself, but it's definitely not an exact science, so why bother arguing? Bottom line is, I still need to watch my blood sugars, exercise, and lose another stone, so I'll just get on with it then... [/QUOTE]
