[QUOTE="Wurst, post: 271376, member: 44101"] Hi All, Around 1.5 months ago i was diagnosed by my GP with diabetes after a high HB1AC (around 9 %) test and a blood fasting level of 182 ml/dg. Since i had to wait around 1 month before seeing the diabetes specialist i went on major diet of mainly raw vegtables and salads and quadrupled my weekly exercise to +5 mile runs 5-6 times a week. When i got my test kit last week i've been surprised by my levels to say the least. According internet sources i am now boderline pre-diabetes. During a week of home testing fasting blood sugars levels have been between 100 - 118 mg/dl. The highest recorded level has been 125 mg/dl two hours after a meal. This leads me to doubt the testing kit accuracy and i was wondering if any one has any information / experience on how accurate these kits are versus the HB1AC tests ? I would ask my diabetes specialist but i live abroad in Germany and somehow i've found the only non-English speaking doctor in the entire country. [/QUOTE]
