I just got results from my fasting blood test today with a reading of 6.1. Also my thyroid is slightly under active and needs to be tested in 6 months time. I am obese and 19 also type 1&2 diabetes are in my family.
The doctor said I've to do a glucose tolerance test do determine diabetes.
My question is .. Because I fall into the pre-diabetic category, will the glucose tolerance test suggest that I am diabetic?
Also has anyone any advice or tips in regards to the glucose tolerance test?
Also could someone explain what the 6.1 result for my fasting blood test means?
Sorry for all the questions, I got a shock today and I want to be prepared!
Thanks in advance!
