[QUOTE="Languagelearner, post: 2258499, member: 519777"] Hi, I was tested at 48 then 47 on the H1BAC, so that counts as only borderline diabetes if at all. The doctor didn't tell me to do any glucose testing, and I wasn't planning on doing so. But a member of the family announced that she had bought me SafeAQ Sinocare blood glucose monitoring kit, and it arrived in the post yesterday. I tested this morning and it was a 7.2. Is it strange that it should not be lower even though I didn't have any carbohydrates yesterday? I'm not planning on testing this regularly, as I'm trying to follow the keto diet so as not to get into the diabetic range, and also I don't like blood and needles (and it was very hard to get any blood out even though I put the lancet's prick depth at the maximum of 9). Would you regard 7.2 as nothing to worry about? [/QUOTE]
