[QUOTE="spud78, post: 2265205, member: 524625"] The ranges made no sense to me at all. I think the receptionist read it wrong off the computer. Probably a range rather than the exact number. But even if it's a range they don't seem that high to me. But I know my fasting test would have been high cos it's been between about 9 and 12 since I started testing - can't remember off the top of my head. Maybe that's what tipped the diagnosis. I'm not going to get this until my next check cos hubby wont hassle them. I was so dehydrated when they took my blood my veins were collapsing so I cant help but wonder if some of the results might be off anyway. I know my medications cause all sorts of nasties inc diabetes and will probably kill me. I've been on them all and these,along with lamotrigine, are the only once that have got me somewhat functional. Not to be dramatic but I'd be dead much faster without them. I'm bipolar/social phobia/PTSD/ agoraphobia and for some reason a separate diagnosis of severe anxiety and depression. So it's a lot to deal with. Stopping meds isn't really an option. I'm hoping things might improve with weight loss, maybe improve my self image a bit. I'm in a difficult and complicated situation and just trying my best to manage all I can but a lot's out of my hands. [/QUOTE]
