[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1088735, member: 41816"] What was the actual test result? And which test was it? If it was your HbA1c, then that covers your average (ish) blood glucose over the last 3 (ish) months. So while your recent dietary changes will have improved it, it really depends when it was taken, and how high it is. I do wish that NHS staff wouldn't use these vague, emotive terms like 'off the chart' and 'horrendous'. They are so unfair. Almost as if they want to scare the living daylights out of you and then throw pills at you so they can feel like miracle workers. Yes, I AM bitter. ;) See if you can get the ACTUAL NUMBER of your test result, by ringing the surgery. You may need to ask to speak to the doc or the nurse, but it would really help your peace of mind! And yes, 6.6 is fine and dandy as a T2 fasting number. Mine was 6.3 this morning, and I have been doing this for years. :) We all get a different 'range' for our fasting results, based on anything from stress, sleep deprivation, carbs the day before, background diet, meds, etc. So never compare yourself to anyone else, just rundle along checking your own, and noting what makes it high, or low, and tweaking things as appropriate. Hope that helps. [/QUOTE]
