Prediabetes
Hi everyone i have just joined the forum never done anything like this before. I dont know if i have high blood sugar levels
because i have had a FBG done by doctor and was told that it was ok. But i still felt something was"ent right so i got a monitor
myself and have been keeping track of my sugar levels .I find that i have numbers in high 5s or 6s fasting ,the highest reading i had fasting was7.8 a few weeks ago,what i am finding is my sugar levels creep up throughout the day even if i eat very little
like yesterday the highest was 8.1 at 10am at 11,30 it was 6.at bedtime 7.8.I feel seedy a lot of the time. Sorry for the long
post i am trying to explain the best i can .I suppose what i am asking is does anyone think i should go back to doctor.
 
Hi ronnie and welcome to the forum. I am afraid that none of us can say whether or not you are diabetic and I am sure that everyone will advise you to go back to the doctor with your concerns and ask for another FBG. The levels you have quoted could all be normal depending on what you had had to eat.

Hope you get sorted and remember we are here to help if you are shown to be diabetic.
 
Agree with Catza, and answered your other post to the same effect. With your readings, including the nearly nine in the other post, you need more than just a one-off fasting test at the doctors. He can do something called an "HbA1c", a one-off blood test which looks at your average blood sugars over the preceeding few months. Or an oral glucose tolerance test. Need a bit of confirmation.
