[QUOTE="HSSS, post: 2459748, member: 480869"] And I only ever had one hba1c at 55mmol. One test is allowable if you have symptoms. My only symptom was general fatigue but I also had low ferretin, vit d and b12 so it could have been any or all of them. I’d also had several surgeries including thyroid surgery and a lot of stress back to back just before so I wasn’t convinced and asked for a second. I got given a fasting blood glucose that time and failed that too by a similar margin. After a period of denial and later acceptance I realise it was correct. Real proper low carb/keto and weight loss (no medication) has never gotten me below 40mmol at best and usually 42/43 since. A non diabetic would have gone lower I believe. [/QUOTE]
