[QUOTE="Prem51, post: 2053197, member: 209498"] Welcome to the forum [USER=506917]@Issma[/USER]. I think it means you do not have a dangerously high blood glucose level or you would be called in immediately, or told to go to A&E. It would be useful to know your HbA1c test result which gives your blood glucose level. I suggest you ring your GP surgery to ask for the figure, you can request a printout of the test results which also gives a lot of other useful information. You can also request online access to your medical test results from the surgery, though some surgeries require you to complete a consent form. When you know your HbA1c result people on here can give you more advice. I am assuming your surgery have diagnosed you as Type 2, rather than Type 1 diabetic, though you do need to confirm that as although Type 1 is generally diagnosed as a child or young adult, it can occur later in life. Type 2s on this forum have found that adopting a Low Carbohydrate High Fat (lchf) approach to eating has reduced their blood glucose levels. Have a read round the threads to see how this works and ask any questions you want to. The people on here are friendly and supportive and you will get a lot of good advice. [/QUOTE]
