Blood Glucose Levels

The two most often used tests are HbA1c and BG level (whether fasting or non fasting).

It's complicated to explain but in the UK as far as I know, GPs are required to order an HbA1c test. There's no rush to have this, it can wait a few more days.

In the meantime, the results you have available do show raised BG levels, over some time.

The fact you are going to the loo a lot is probably because of these raised BG levels over time.

When you have seen your GP and start to work a plan to get the BGs consistently down, it will take a while, more than a few days.

I often say to people this is a marathon, not a sprint. There is not much you can do tonight or tomorrow to make a difference, unless perhaps you call your GP's surgery and make an appointment or discuss it with a nurse.

If I thought you were in urgent need of seeing a doctor right now, I would tell you. I hope you will be able to relax a bit and enjoy your evening. I'm glad you found this website, which can provide lots of support and info that will help you over the coming weeks and months.
