[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1059512, member: 94045"] There is no harm in assuming you are diabetic until your next HbA1c. If you start a suitable diet right now and add a little exercise to your daily routine (doesn't have to be much) you have every chance of lowering your last HbA1c. Whether you are diabetic or pre-diabetic doesn't make much difference in reality. It's just a label. I'll tag [USER=25759]@daisy1[/USER] to come along with the advice for new members. Do get a meter. This will help you with finding the right diet for you. You may be one of the lucky ones that can manage the odd slice of bread. You may not. Your meter will tell you. A meter is essential. Many of us here use the Codefree because the strips are the cheapest going, and you will need a lot of strips to begin with. Have a look here.

Once you get a meter, start keeping a food diary and record your levels against the food eaten. Patterns will emerge telling you which are your danger foods that need cutting out or reducing in quantity. Good luck :) [/QUOTE]
