[QUOTE="Prem51, post: 2076404, member: 209498"] Welcome to the forum [USER=507159]@PamJHS[/USER]. It is a shock when you are first told you are pre-diabetic or diabetic. But at least you were told. Many of us weren't told when we were pre-diabetic, but only when we became fully diabetic. Knowing you are pre-diabetic means you can take action now to avoid becoming fully diabetic. Well done on getting a blood glucose meter, which will mean you can find out which foods raise your blood glucose, and you can monitor your levels between HbA1c tests. You should ask your gp surgery for a printout of your HbA1c test results. Your test results should also be available online, but you have to request access from the surgery. The full test results will give you a lot of useful information. As well as your bg figure, it will also show your cholesterol figures, including the breakdown of the component parts which are more important than the total figure. It is all a lot to get your head around and will take time to get to grips with but you will get a lot of advice and support on here. Have a read around the forum and ask any questions you want to.
