[QUOTE="Cocosilk, post: 2130415, member: 501623"] Hi Folks, I'm just wondering how you were diagnosed with Prediabetes? Was it a HbA1c or an OGTT? And what kind of results got you this diagnosis where you live? (I believe some of us come from outside the UK). I'm in Australia and recently did a GTT with these results: Fasting: 4.4 mmol 1h: 12.1 mmol 2h: 6.5mmol They didn't diagnose me with anything. They only suggested I "may have glucose intolerance" and to "come back in one year for further tests." Fasting levels at home are typically 4.8 - 5.2 while eating low carb and breastfeeding. This past couple of days I tried reintroducing carbs and this morning my fasting was 5.2, but then climbed to 5.4 in the next hour before I ate. I guess that's typical foot on the floor when you have an excess in your liver. Otherwise, after 6 months of low carb and while breastfeeding, I sometimes would get a 4.8 that goes back to 4.6 with further fasting... [/QUOTE]
