[QUOTE="Gwilo, post: 395038, member: 73492"] Loving the thinking......not sure SWMBO would agree with my logic though (Assuming type 1). More confusing today: I've just received a call from the practice nurse, who'd been given my blood results. Now, bearing in mind that a FGT is based on an 8-10 hour fast....the "normal range is up to 5.9, right? So I'd fasted for just over 12 hours, had accidentally pee'd at 4:30 that morning and not captured it - the sample I gave was from 7am when I got up properly and still posted a high number on the dip test. Despite me querying the blood results last week and being told they were fine & normal, the doctor has reviewed and say 6.3 isn't right. I'd agree, based on all the above. Coupled with the raging eczema in my feet and elbows, insatiable athletes foot, worrying jock itch, distateful oral thrush, tiredness and lightheadness many afternoons.......I feel like I'm in a Top Gear-esque medical sit-com....... "G set out to get a proper diagnoses for Diabetes.........How hard can it be?" :lol: [/QUOTE]
