[QUOTE="NoCrbs4Me, post: 647415, member: 113206"] [SIZE=4]Not to nit pick, but it sounds like you have impaired fasting glucose (IFG) rather than impaired glucose tolerance. Hopefully they ran your HbA1c as well. The only way to know if you have impaired glucose tolerance for sure is to do the glucose tolerance test, which involves having you consume a drink with 75 g of glucose in it and measuring your blood glucose afterwards. [/SIZE] :pompous: [SIZE=4]However, as stated above, you may just want to get your own blood glucose meter and test yourself. That will show how high your blood glucose is going after meals.[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
