Fasting question

I am not going to see him until Thursday but I expect him to say there isn't any difference.

The same day that I had my blood checked so did my mother by another doctor. In my mothers case it was the plasma that was tested.

I got a reading of 5 whilst my mother had a reading of 5.1.

I had my Hba1 tested yesterday and the reading was 5.6.

So I am within range thank goodness and given that I have been under a huge amount of stress for the last 2 months and eating very badly (lots of bad carbs) I am happy with the results.

My aim is to improve on this result with better eating and more activity. This is my wake-up call.

I had a fasting glucose test on Tuesday after 3 days following the recommended carb diet regime for the test.

I have done the test once before in January 2012 and the results were quiet good:

Fasting: 5.5
2 Hours: 5.5

However, this time not so good:

Fasting: 5.6 (nothing to really complain about)
2 Hours: 7.0

Though in the normal range it's a big jump in 2.5 years. I have been very stressed the last couple of months and in particular the last couple of weeks, but I'm now just 7 points about from 7.8 pre-diabities.

My eating habits, in general are fine and won't be difficult to cut out the stuff I should't be eating. Also I need to be more active. I currently weight 81Kg (have lost 3kg over the three weeks) and I would like to get down to and stay at 70kg.

Does anyone know how 'normal' it is to have a 2 Hour fasting result be 1.4 higher then the fasting result and what this means. Any feedback would be most welcome and appreciated.
