Message: <blockquote data-quote="louiseb" data-source="post: 125936" data-attributes="member: 25489">hi well I have many of the symptos you describe frequent urination, thirst and weight loss etc.I had a glucose tolerance test recently at my gp surgery about 2 weeks ago this involved a fasting blood test and a test 2 hours after drinking a specific amont of lucozade think it was 75g of glucose to be exact.my test results came back showing me to have impaired glucose tolerance and impaired fasting glycaemia which means my levels are not normal bt not high enough yet to classified as diabetes.the classifications for a diabetic diagnosis are 7.1 or higher fasting11.1 or higher at 2 hour mark after glucose.my gp told me the glucose tolerance test is the reccomended way od diagnosing diabetes.Also the night before my test I was supposed to fast from 10pm and have the the test the following morning at 9am meaning an 11 hour fast well I fasted for nearly 17 hours as I was in alot of pain with my kidney pain which kind of makes youy loose appetite, well I mentioned this to my GP and he said the extra hours would make very little difference.anyhow your reading seem to be that of a non diabetic although the only person who can tell you for sure is a medical professional given your symptoms I would be inclined to make an appointment with your GP and get tested, the tests at the chemist are not a method of diagnosing daibetes they are really only to give advice as to whether or not need to see your gp for a diabetic test.good luck at the doctor hope all goes well.</blockquote>
