Hello all,
I am after a bit of advice on an issue. If anyone can give me any information that would be great as I know nothing on this subject.
I have just spoken to a doctor’s receptionist with regard to blood tests I had last week (no doctor available). What she has told me has given me concern. Apparently I need to redo one of my tests and have a ‘fasting’ blood test as the figure which I registered was 6.8.
Is 6.8 high?
I had the blood test at 08:20 AM just 30 minutes after eating two Weetabix for breakfast. I also had a cup of coffee. No additional sugar was added to the Weetabix or coffee.
I am a 39 year old male who weighs 11st 10lbs. I play football once per week, mountain bike once per week and eat and drink quite healthily.
My father has diabetes and hypertension and I have been on medication for hypertension since being 29 years old, hence why I try to keep relatively fit and keep my weight down.
Any advice or reassurance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Craig
