Hello Margaret. You should really get yourself down to the GP to get him to check you properly. Your symptoms may point to diabetes, but there's only one way to find out for sure! Let us know how you get on.

Hi Margaret, ideal fasting levels would be between 4-6. Ideal levels 2 hours after meals should be under 8.
I would see your GP and get checked out.
