[QUOTE="Emile_the_rat, post: 1364622, member: 301751"] Having bloodsugar between 4.0 mmol to 7.8 mmol are considered normal and not diabetic. Readings from 4.7 to 7.8 are not what I would call "all over the place". Non-diabetics can even have spikes up to 11.1 mmol after a high-carb meal. So from a medical point of view you don't have a problem with glucose control. But answering your question, you can be diabetic and not insulin resistant, like type 1 or lada in adults. Type 1 and lada both have a "sort of" "prediabetic"phase were the beta cells are destructed, but that are usually asymptomatic. Yes 7.2 are high for a fasting blood test, but on the other hand you can't rule out diabetes from one single test. Also HbA1c from 4.0-6.0 are normal values, so I wouldn't worry too much about a slightly elevated HbA1c. I would guess you're not prediabetic (at least not yet) as your blood sugar still sounds normal. My advice are not to stress it. Take a new HbA1c in 3 months, then you can make sure if it were just a one time slight elevated result or if you have early signs of prediabetes. [/QUOTE]
