[QUOTE="Rachox, post: 1847769, member: 400972"] Hi witloof. Do you know what the test for Diabetes was that you had done? I think it would probably be an HbA1c, that’s the commonly used test these days. It’s a clever test that measures excess sugar stuck on your red blood cells. As your red blood cells live for up to twelve weeks the glucose measurement is a long term one. Your changing your eating habits in the week or two leading up to your test will have had little effect on the result. It sounds like you need to go back to your GP and clarify this and tell him/her about your anxieties. [/QUOTE]
