[QUOTE="callieuk, post: 1842555, member: 472047"] Sorry, I'm late to this thread, so you may have had an appointment already but I would ask for an A1c to be done as a benchmark. I was led to believe (for many years) that I was pre-diabetic based on OGTT tests. I recently got access to my medical records and the OGTT tests have always put me in this range but the A1c results contradict this massively! (between 30-35mmol/l over 10 years). I'm not saying this is what is happening but I think you need that A1c to be able to formulate a plan. Getting hold a meter and testing what you're eating pre-meal and 2hr post-meal is a great start, it's amazing what small tweaks can make :) [/QUOTE]
