[QUOTE="Rokaab, post: 2321688, member: 450212"] The 49 I'm guessing is probably your HbA1c result (though its best to verify what the blood test actually was) - non diabetic is less than 42, pre-diabetes is 42-47 and diabetes is 48+ so you're only just in the actual diabetic zone. Your chemist claiming 7-10 were normal levels, a) is wrong and b) different scale :) that scale is a different measurement to the HbA1c, normal finger prick blood tests are normally at 4-6/7 mmol/L (not sure how high it can go but not significantly) - an HbA1c of 49 is an average of 8mmol/L fyi Oh and welcome :) [/QUOTE]
