[QUOTE="malcymjc, post: 868754, member: 186364"] Hi everyone I have an appointment tomorrow with the practice nurse to "discuss recent elevated blood glucose results" I have high blood pressure and cholesterol so the blood tests I thought were the usual liver function tests so was a bit taken aback when the letter arrived inviting me to see the nurse. The results were Ha1bc 7.6 and fasting glucose 9.7 after an earlier random blood glucose came in at 12.5 which I now understand prompted the further tests. When I got the letter I decided to do some research so I have been lurking about the forums. I went out and bought a monitor and for the last five days I have been testing before an after food.....wow bread has some effect. My peaks two hours after eating have been between 10.5 and 17.7, morning results have been about 9. But I see that a 30 minute walk with the dog can knock 3 points off a reading getting it down to below 6 a couple of times. I don't know if I have type 2 but certainly I think I need to control my diet and do more exercise. I am confused by it all and worried about what people have said about differing attitudes and approach by health care professionals. I hope you don't mind me jumping the gun and posting before diagnosis but I suppose I am getting a bit twitchy tonight. Best wishes Malcolm [/QUOTE]
