[QUOTE="Prem51, post: 2111167, member: 209498"] Welcome to the forum [USER=512386]@Nichola211[/USER]. In the UK non-diabetic is below 42 IFCC, pre-diabetic is 42-47, and diabetic is 48 and above. So you are in the diabetic range, but not very high. It's good that your doctor has arranged further tests to confirm what type of diabetes you have, but it is likely to be Type 2. If so you should be able to reduce your blood glucose by avoiding or lowering your consumption not just of sugary food and drink, but also starchy carbohydrates like bread, potatoes, pasta and rice. These turn to sugar quite quickly in our bodies so aren't good for Type 2s. Have a read round the forum and ask any questions you want to, the people on here are friendly and supportive and you will get a lot of good advice. [/QUOTE]
