[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2278474, member: 401801"] For the moment, forget fasting blood sugars. It's hot, you might not be sleeping soundly, and if you wake a few times during the night your liver'll start dumping glucose. Also, if it's hot, blood sugars tend to do slightly odd things.... All in all, we can't really tell anything from your fasting blood sugars. What would be rather informative, would be if you tested before a meal and 2 hours after the first bite. You're aiming for a rise of no more than 2.0 mmol/l between those two, and should be somewhere under 8,5 over all, though there's some leeway in that number. I had to look up TB, so didn't know what it was, but it is actually relevant should you go to a doc for assistance: A HbA1c (a three month average that's used for diagnosis and check-ups) gets skewed if you're anemic for whatever reason. Hope that helps! Jo [/QUOTE]
