Just something going through my mind from another thread.
What does a fasting BG test tell you that a GTT does not??
Is it posssible to have a "normal" GTT and still have a high Fasting Blood glucose?? Ie my fasting levels on diagnosis were 8.9 on 2 tests a week apart BUT normal GTT. WHAT does this mean?
I know that the GTT can show you are pre diabetic but you would think that as my fasting BG were 8.9 then the GTT would be high as well.
I have to say i do spike to about 10 or 11 @ 1 hour after meals but by 2 hours can be back to 5.5 ish
Just another one of those things going round me head, maybe someone knows the answer.
Thanks
Brian
