Help Please

[Claire2332]

Please help my partners mum has been having dizzy spells and when I did her finger test she's been getting readings of between 3.4 and 4.6 she's not diabetic but the doctors have told her today that she's borderline. Is this right as I thought high readings would mean risk of being diabetic not low? (Iam type1)

It all depends what times of day you took the tests, and what she had been eating.

I'm type 2 and my readings vary hugely (from the 4s up to the 10s) but if I ate higher carbs I would be up in the teens.

If she is currently a borderline type 2 then looking at diet and exercise, getting a BG meter and mapping out what her reactions to food are, could make a massive difference! Low carb works for me.

How about inviting her to visit this forum? It's a mine of info!
