I do not have diabetes
Hi all

Ive been feeling light headed at times, no other real symptoms. I decided to buy a Blood glucose monitor to see what my readings were.
I do have a lot of sweet things and fizzy juice in my diet.

My first reading was 7.6 which i was a little surprised, then later i tested again and it was 8.6. I ate a bag of peanut M&M's later in the evening and tested again after a bit and the reading was 10.2.

The next morning i took a test after i got up and before i ate anything and it was 5.6. I then had lunch at 1430 and tested just after 2 hours later and the reading was 10.5.

Im in the process of being registered with my GP to get tested properly.

Im guessing i might have prediabetes and need to obviously change my diet.

Hi @PostmanSco & welcome to the forum :)

We can’t diagnose or give medical advice on the forum but you are doing the right seeing your GP to get tested, even if it’s just to put your mind at rest. If you do end up with a diagnosis then certainly come back and let us know. We have lots of members with a wealth of experience and who are always happy to share them and give general advice
