Why do you think she's non diabetic?My daughter is non diabetic and she has had readings in the double figures after a meal.
She had a HbA1c of 38 last time tested a few months ago I know I found it hard to believe too but doctor says she is not diabetic.Why do you think she's non diabetic?
I would keep testing things. Things change for no apparent reason. How old is she? Just keep an eye on. We know one and two hours after meals mean more tha an A 1 c.She had a HbA1c of 38 last time tested a few months ago I know I found it hard to believe too but doctor says she is not diabetic.
Yes I know was quite worried about her a while back she is now 40 years of age. I have even gone so far as to get her a meter but she is now reluctant to test. As she says her doctor said she is normal and he is refusing her any further HbA1c tests.I would keep testing things. Things change for no apparent reason. How old is she? Just keep an eye on.

Now I remember!! Well, you did what you could do and at 40 there isn't much you can do but set an example. At 20 there's not much we can do.Yes I know was quite worried about her a while back she is now 40 years of age. I have even gone so far as to get her a meter but she is now reluctant to test.

@nathanw777, I have high BG from time to time - more often of late as I've been having some issues, but things are getting a bit better now.
I tend to find my BG's go highest straight after meals, so I try to minimise that as much as possible by taking my insulin in advance. It's not something I suggest you try, but just thought I'd elaborate a little on how I try and get round my high BG when it typically happens
@JohnEGreen, @Kristin251 - non-diabetic BG spikes are a lot more common than we're led to believe. I was informed about this from my DSN when a lot of the staff were wearing Libre sensors. The spikes went as high as 13.2mmol/L apparently!
As far as I'm aware, any readings <2 hours post prandial are inconclusive in diagnosing diabetes. Even though the "random plasma glucose test" would suggest that any reading over 11.1mmol/L would indicate diabetes, I believe it has to be out with that 2 hour post-prandial window, although I may be wrong.
Your daughter could always request an OGTT @JohnEGreen, I would have thought the results from one of those tests coupled with an HbA1c would be a pretty definitive indicator of health.
Apologies for derailing this thread any further guys!
Yes you're right, I think the HbA1c and OGTT would verify the diagnosis over a reading >11.1mmol/L.Grant, for T2s, I'm pretty certain, in the absence of symptoms (and many T2s are diagnosed when asymptomatic), a random reading of >11.1 must be repeated, on another day, although at that point, an HbA1c is often done.
