Blood Glucose readings

[Hils72]

Dear all

I was told by my GP that I was pre-diabetic after having had a Hba1c reading of 49 in Nov and then 43 in Jan. I believe I am still having symptoms so a colleague suggested that I do a weekly record of my readings along with a food diary and then take it to the GP and say what do you think.
I have to admit that I didn't manage the whole week but here are what I did record. I would like to know what people see in my readings as it is all still very alien to me! Should I be worried or do you wonderful people think that I am probably in the pre diabetic stage and need to monitor what I eat? Needless to say when I made these recordings I was not trying to eat a healthier than normal diet but ate what I always eat as I thought that would be a more accurate reflection.
Thanks in advance. The results are listed most recent date first so start at the bottom!!!!

from the numbers listed ( and the times of the day ) as some are early morning fasting numbers
I would get to your GP

a look at the Low Carb High Fat section of the forum would be of use to you as well (IMHO)

I would say the same, try a low carb high fat diet... I have much better control over my blood sugars now - good luck.
