Help needed on figures

Hi everyone,

I sincerely hope you don't mind me sticking my head into this message board but I'm a bit concerned about my blood glucose result. I have not been diagnosed with diabetes.

Back story: I have a history of migraines but the past few months they have dramatically increased from one a year to one every other day, I'm under the consultancy of a neurologist. I also have dizzy/room spin spells, a small amount if alcohol is giving me a raging hangover, I'm exhausted all the time and keep having recurrent thrush (very unusual for me) I do drink and urinate a lot whilst in a migraine attack but not excessively out of it.

Anyway, I'm a vet nurse so have access to a glucometer, I thought I'd take a reading today. The figure came back as 8.4 (fasted sample). Should I get my bloods checked out properly with this reading and if so, how urgently?

Thanks in advance.

I will ring the gp as soon as it opens, should I not eat breakfast so it's a fasted sample or carry on my day as normal?

Thank you for all your replies. I did consider whether the reading was potentially high due to the migraines and not the other way round (perhaps the stress of it all). I will bob into the chemist on the school run, I wonder if they will do a quick reading?!

The lovely nurse saw me. Reading of 5.8 so totally normal. Not sure how that explains last night's reading and I'm still no wiser as to my incessant migraines but I think I can probably rule out diabetes. She has strongly advised me to book in with gp to run full bloods though, which I have done.
