[QUOTE="Emile_the_rat, post: 1367530, member: 301751"] I think it is strange that the doctor prescribded metformin so quickly. I agree with the part that your blood tests done at the clinic were a little bit elevated and hints toward pre-diabetes. Did you take fasting blood sugar once or twice? Because I think you need minimum two fasting reading above 6 to be qulified as pre-diabetic. At least thats what my doctor told me. Really strange that your blood test get elevated when you are doing the test at the clinic, but just fine at home :/ I do not know if your overweight, or have any other family members with type 2 diabetes, but if you have it won't hurt to avoid high glycemic food until your next appointment to see if the values go down. But I understand your frustration and confusion. I have the oppsite problem of you, my fasting blood sugar are usually normal when I visit my doctor. But at home I have several times got reading from 12-15 mmol (not fasting, but still too high), but that won't show on my HbA1c because I am a hypoglycemic that struggles with episodes of very low blood sugar. So I feel your pain, it can be really confusing when you have blood sugar results that won't fit with the standards. [/QUOTE]
