[QUOTE="HSSS, post: 2097729, member: 480869"] A fasting level of 7mmol/l is diagnostic [URL]https://www.diabetes.co.uk/diabetes_care/blood-sugar-level-ranges.html[/URL] The starting point I referred to was 48mmol/mol hb1ac which is also what gets you diagnosed which equates to an average of 7.7mmol/l fingerprick. There’s a converter that does indeed show it works that way. [URL]https://www.diabetes.co.uk/hba1c-to-blood-sugar-level-converter.html[/URL] Not what I’ve heard or read. I guess we all get different information I was trying ,and obviously failing, to convey the idea it is possible to be diabetic but not have postprandial 11.2 by having higher fasting levels, post prandial levels that whilst not reaching 11.2 after 2hrs take a long time to fall and could result in an hb1ac over 48. Yes it would be more than a few spikes and probably a lot higher than7.8. But I agree yes a non diabetic would fall quicker and have lower fasting levels resulting in a lower hb1ac I don’t think the op was making a fuss. More trying to understand what drives a rise and how it works. Perhaps a little dramatic in the title but seeking education. He declared he was told he was prediabetic rather than called this a diabetic result. I get your point that people shouldn’t go looking for what’s not there and how it makes you feel when they do but people come here confused and scared and ask questions to further their understanding not to be offensive (on the whole anyway) . A little reassurance and explanation can go a long way. [/QUOTE]
