[QUOTE="Katharine, post: 30284, member: 7958"] If your fasting test is over 6.9 twice in a row you have diabetes and an oral glucose tolerance test won't change the diagnosis. If your fasting level was below this you may not be able to say you are NOT diabetic without an oral glucose tolerance test. Response to meal carbs dwindles much earlier in type two diabetes than the fasting blood sugar levels. Does this help? I don't understand why you would need an ogtt if the original diagnosis was sound either. [/QUOTE]
