[QUOTE="cugila, post: 130636, member: 15325"] Howard. Not having seen those figures before and knowing that they are not what the NICE 2010 guidelines state we have taken this up with the Administrator. Hopefully we can get those figures corrected as it is incorrect. So is the 90 min figure as it is always given as 2 hrs by UK medical authorities, and this forum. The correct guideline figures are as follows: Fasting (waking)...................between 4 - 7 mmol/l. Type 1 and Type 2. 2 hrs after meals..................no more than 8.5 mmol/l. Type 2 2 hrs after meals..................no more than 9 mmol/l. Type 1 Nobody here or in the NICE guidelines advocates 10 mmol/l. NICE do not advocate testing after 90 minutes........it is 2 hrs which is the recognised timing. I should also point out that the Forum is totally separate from the Community pages. So we quite often differ from some of the Community page information. Ken. [/QUOTE]
