[QUOTE="Geordie_P, post: 2218306, member: 343949"] It could be pre-diabetes; it could be something you could turn around or get under control by taking better care of yourself. In fact, even if it did turn out to be type 2, you should still be able to control it. I would strongly recommend Chris's post above that you cut out carbs, at least until your next test, just so you can see what your levels are like without being spiked by sugars. Remember that carbs hide in a lot of innocent looking foods- I also need to start a low-carb diet after getting a high reading at the doctor's yesterday, and I think Dr. Bernsteins list of foods to avoid is quite comprehensive- I include it below [Avoid] all foods with added sugar or honey such as desserts, candies, and pastries; all foods made from grains and grain flours such as breads, cereals, pasta, and rice; all starchy vegetables such as potatoes, corn, carrots, peas, tomatoes, and beans; all fresh or preserved fruits and fruit juices; all dairy products except for butter, cream, and fermented cheeses, as well as full fat yogurt(for dairy products the more the fat content the less carbohydrate content) Good luck to you- if it looks restrictive, don't worry- you can have all the meat, fish and eggs you want: any leafy green vegetable etc. [/QUOTE]
