[QUOTE="gardengnome42, post: 1610122, member: 114214"] I had an HbA1c of 43 with just a note to say 'Abnormal, see the nurse'. The cholesterol was high as well: Total - 6.7. The HbA1c has been at <41 > for 5 years but I was shocked to see it had risen this year. 5 years ago when I was diagnosed with hypertension I lost 3 stone, and although I did all the things advised for a healthier lifestyle it made no difference to the blood pressure and I do take tablets for that. No statins though [I have resisted them so far] but my Qrisk has now risen to 18% so am expecting the pressure to be applied.. I know I need to alter my diet - but initially wanted to see what normal carbs would show. Anyway on the advice of this forum I bought a Codefree meter and am struggling to get used to it. I have tested before and after the evening meal as advised and first thing in the morning. I have not followed any special diet [ie. low carb] so far and expect to be told what to do to improve matters by the nurse this week. I have the feeling these numbers are not good for a pre-diabetic? I would be interested in your opinions, I do find the various charts for glucose levels rather confusing. Fasting :- 6.1; 6.5; 6.6; 6.2 dinner:- 6.9/8.1; 6.1/7.5; X/10.5; 5.8/9.4 [/QUOTE]
