[QUOTE="resander, post: 2214127, member: 455577"] About two years ago I noticed I had several diabetes symptoms (including toe peripheral neuropathy), so bought a meter and tested after meals for about 8 weeks. I very quickly discovered the troublemaker foods and remeasured these a couple of times to verify. I then saw my GP who said I absolutely did not have diabetes because my hbA1c value was good (in the thirties) and the diabetic nurse who was there on that day also said so. The hbA1C is an average of the blood sugar in the body three months just before the test. I had the troubling foods only a few times during this period, but not enough to make an impact on the three month average. The hbA1C test diagnoses diabetes, not the absence of diabetes. [/QUOTE]
