[QUOTE="viviennem, post: 377172, member: 31282"] LittleWolf, the non-diabetic range is as follows: 3.5 - 5.5 fasting/before meals less than 8, 2 hours after eating HbA1c, 4.6 - 5.4%, or 20 - 42. In your place I'd be back at my GP and asking for either a Glucose Tolerance Test or an HbA1c, and preferably both. Neither is expensive, so don't let them fob you off. The target range for a Type 2 is: 4 - 7 fasting/before meals less than 8.5, 2 hours after eating. Your readings are not typical of non-diabetics. You need a proper answer, not "can't possibly be". Even skinny people can become diabetic - 20% of Type 2s are at or below "normal" weight. About 80% are fat/obese at diagnosis - but only about 20% (I think; someon please correct me!) of obese people are diabetic. I'm not qualified and can't diagnose, but I think you should go back to your GP. Viv 8) [/QUOTE]
