[QUOTE="KK123, post: 2478614, member: 451727"] Hi snametab, that is a great idea, the numbers I meant being individual glucose readings before & after meals and when fasting, etc. The daily data from doing those glucose tests will be crucial for you to see what is going on real time. I wish I had done so when I got my 'pre diabetic' diagnosis, I think my hb1ac back then was 42 also. By the time I was diagnosed 3 years later (having shamefully paid no further attention to this 'pre' thing based on sheer ignorance on my part and no follow ups from the GP) my hb1ac was a 150 (!!) and I had virtually wasted away. It wasn't until my symptoms became impossible to ignore or explain away that I went to the GP. An hour later I was in hospital. You really are doing the right thing at such an early stage, so please let us know how you get on. If you find your numbers are high even when low carbing, ask them for a C Peptide test and an antibody test and don't take no for an answer. x [/QUOTE]
