[QUOTE="Venta, post: 793708, member: 164495"] Thanks Lynn, I do seem to be, and I am definitely taking on board all the advice I've been given here. How has your pre-diabetes status changed since October? Have you switched to low carb? Do you have weight to lose (if that's not too rude a question). Have your levels reduced? I'm really interested to know if anyone has ever actually beaten it and avoided sliding into T2. Now, I did call in at the surgery and got my readings. I take it it's the Plasma glucose level I'm looking for? Well it says: [B]6.4 mmol/L [3.5 - 7.8]. [/B]I had the blood test at 10.20 am, and would have had a cup of tea with skimmed milk, no sugar, but nothing to eat since the evening before. I have no idea what this means except that Daisy1's post said T2 levels are 4 - 7 mmol. Being new to this, I see 6.4 as being within the T2 range - or does it not work like that? I've been looking at buying a meter too, but have been told which one I have will depend on which strips my surgery will prescribe - does that make sense? Sorry to be a pain, but I trust you guys to give me straight answers with no bias or agendas. :shy: [/QUOTE]
