Do you think I could be diabetic?

I have been worried about being possibly borderline diabetic for months now. My symptoms are: needing the toilet more often and slight shaking of the hands/arms when I haven't eaten for a while.

So yesterday I purchased a blood glucose meter and have tested myself a few times:

Last night, before bed and approximately 2 hours after eating, my level was 5.9mmol/L.
This morning, first thing, my level was 4.2mmol/L.
An hour after breakfast (one slice brown toast) my level was 4.4mmol/L.
An hour after dinner this evening, my level was 7.8mmol/L.

I hope this is ok. What do you think?

Thanks,

Gareth
 
If you are worried ,Gareth,please go to your doctor and get a blood test done.Your self testing numbers seem OK but we do not know all the factors so it is best you seek help from those that know your medical history.Please ,however have a good look round the forum and ask questions if you have any.
 
Hi Gareth,
Don't wait about if you are worried go and see your doctor! I am recently diagnoised i wish i had been and pushed for blood tests earlier!
You tests seem fine!
But there are other reasons why you could be this way! Please make a appointment and go and see your Gp, a 20 minute or so appointment and a blood test! could put your mind at ease!
My grandad used to say don't put off medical issues!
Please let us know you get on!
