HI, been getting in to low carb diets and research around it. so out of interest I got a blood glucose meter. I get normal readings...
But out of interest I did a test on my father who is 60. his readings from just after he gets up(but before eating anything) is 6.4 mmol. I did the same test the next day in the morning and it was 6.2 mmols.
reading the info buff it is telling me that is in the pre-diabetes range. So before panicking everyone, How bad is this really? he is very fit and active (stronger then most normal men) what other tests I can do from home before packing him off the doctor. My father has a brother who has type-2 and my father has a very sweet tooth.
My father is getting to that age were I want to keep on top of any issues but don't want to start any fuss over nothing.
regards
