[QUOTE="eggie, post: 98304, member: 22231"] hi cugila At present there is alot of confusion flying around especially with my GP,i seen him today for re occurance of migraines he agreed to refer me to Neurologist. Now we discussed my diabetes story, he goes by what the blood result tells him the HbA1c of 5.2, and says that result tells him i'm not diabetic, then he turns round and tells me that my fasting result which was 6.6 was abnormal, i told him that result of 6.6 would suggest Pre diabetes, he said no that is abnormal that suggests diabetes. Then i said if 6.6 is diabetes then why you telling me I'm not diabetic he said because of your hba1c result which is 5.2. So obvously my GP doesn't know what he saying. Then he turn round and said to me your getting anxious because of your fasting result but i'm saying your Hba1c is telling your fine. Confused ? yes just as me first he says my fasting result is abnormal and suggests i'm diabetic and then on the other hand he says i'm not. Anyway my blood tests that were done were the Hba1c test last week dx abt 3 weeks ago. Dont know where the results were sent didnt really ask. but one thing that the GP said to me and made me think was that the Hba1c is a test done to check level of glucose over 2 to 3 months, what he said was that the test revealed that there was a slight peak towards the end of the result. So got me thinking , could be wrong, but this is what i thought the slight peak towards the end, could be the start of my diabetes as i really only felt ill abt 3 to 4 weeks ago, that peak could be the rise of my blood sugar but taken over the whole 3 month sand the average worked out and the result is 5.2. This was my hunch maybe i'm wrong but just got me thinking what the GP said that's all. as for the savoury things i've started to cut down on them anyway and really see what difference it makes to the blood sugar, been pencilled in for a dietician so see what advice he or she gives. Keep you posted on this saga. Thanks Eggie [/QUOTE]
