Depends when he is doing it...could be before eating...but just as likely is recent couple of readings not accurately reflecting his average whereas the HbA1c will give the average over the preceding three months.odd his hba1c is worse than his finger pricking.
As you are very young, I suspect the further tests will be to see if you are a Type 1 or a Type 2.
Well, those results are high and definitely put you in the diabetes range.
HbA1c:
under 42 is non-diabetic
42 to 47 is "at risk" pre-diabetic
48 and over is diabetic.
I take it the "bloods" were a spot check? Was it a fasting test by finger prick or something else? Had you recently eaten?

I went due to feeling generally tired and losing weight despite eating more. No im not into fitness perse, i just work in a stockroom so am on my feet etcyour bloods are diabetic for the hba1c but your routine finger pricks are not massively high. you have diabetes but its not the worst my bg was in the 20s and my hba1c was a 104. at a guess yours looks more like type 2 but thats a serious guess. what has the doctor said about treatment. an how was it picked up. those levels would not normally cause symptoms. just noticed your young and fit this swings it more to type 1 or one of the rare versions. have you been ill.you say your very fit please excuse this but youve not used steroids ie body building.
Hello
It's the start of your journey as a type 2. Yes that HBA1C result says you are diabetic. It's not the highest figure I have ever seen so that is a bit of good news, I have only been on this journey for 2 years myself but this is what I have learned.
Take a sensible pace, things don't change overnight, they take time and allowing them to do so will make for a long term health plan and it does work, it is also lovely.
Cut out processed foods, white flour, white rice etc. the things that are high in carbohydrates, these are not helpful to us now. You can have carbs but as part of veg etc.
Cut the booze out for a good while, it's not needed
Learn to love bubbly water
Salad, ooooh we all love salad now
keep a food diary that shows what your food is made of. When you test your levels you will be able to see what meals are good for you and which are not .
Testing.
Test before a meal, test 90 minutes after, write it down. see what patterns occur
Morning readings are not the most important reading. I can have the same meal for several days on the trot and have different readings, the reasons for the variance is hydration, how deep the sleep was, the deeper the sleep the more energy your liver releases to get you going, it's not a good or bad thing, it just happens every day.
First one was a finger prick test, second one was a fasting test. I'm young, physically fit and eat quite well, I don't think i have type 2 but idk
idk if this is an automated thing but i dot even know if i have type 2? I don't drink, am physically fit and generally eat well
My doc said he thought type 2 was unlikely because, and i quote, "it's caused by poor lifestyle choices".Type 2 can affect fit people that think they eat healthily. It isn't restricted to the unfit couch potatoes that eat junk food. It can simply be a question of genetics.
