Blood Test Results

Hi Rosentrot,

After your first test at 7, which would indicate diabetes, you really need to know what the actual result was of this one. "Normal" is not a scientific assessment, it is someone's opinion.

Hi there,

if you are diabetic then you are diabetic, but there seems to be as many variables as there are people. Some people seem to have less insulin resistance and react well to diet changes well so their remaining pancreatic action can manage the foods they eat. You can also be prediabetic or have impaired glucose tolerance. Like pointed out earlier, you need to find out your actual numbers and have a good chat with your doctor since judging by your numbers you would be on the diabetic side of the border. But you need to be persistent and get proper results because sooner the problem is tackled, sooner you will feel better and feel in control of your life! Good luck and keep us posted!

I'm glad you are going to see your doc, especially since your chd is symptomatic too. As you probably know, diabetes and chd often go hand in hand so sooner you get treated the better!

are some papers pointing out the the majority of Type 2 variants start with raised postprandials and the fasting numbers are the last to go south. A GTT would be diagnostic. Failing that, take in some of your own BG readings taken about an hour after eating a carby meal.

This is one of the things that fooled my previous doctors. Normal fastings, postprandials anywhere from 11.something to 3.something, they don't find what they aren't looking for
