[QUOTE="icecoffee, post: 358847, member: 46309"] Hi Elaine hope you are feeling better. When I was diagnosed, none in my family had it. A few years later my older brother got it and another few years my dad had it in his 70s. Both are type two. Other family members are fine. I remember I tested my son the fasting level once when he’s little with my meter. Touch wood, he is a healthy young man now. I don’t know much about the GAD test as I have stopped to think which type I am when doctors sent me for tests out of their interests for scientific purpose. Search on internet you will see lots of info. Readings of 4-6+ are brilliant! I’d like to swap my condition with yours :). 7+ is a bit high but not that bad. Anxiety will push the level up. When I have above 7 in morning I would adjust my eating, say a bit less snacks during the day, or less food for evening meals for a few days until it gets back under 7. Sometimes I adjust the amount of Gilclazide, but this is not your case and not recommended by doctors. I found that just before my period the fasting bs goes up to 8+ and what I do won’t help so I just leave it. I am still leaning my own conditions and trying to work a balance, which suits me, out of diet, medicine and other factors, like exercise and weight, etc. aiming a BS control that is as near normal as possible.
