[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 643807, member: 41816"] I would be wary of any decision based on a single fasting blood glucose test. I am diabetic, and I frequently have fasting tests anywhere in the range of 5.8 right up to 8.5 Any doctor (or receptionist) who saw a test result below 7 would think I wasn't diabetic. And they would be wrong! But then... there are many other reasons why people feel tired. including fibrmyalgia... Do you have any other typical diabetic symptoms? Frequent widdling. Thirst. Frequent thrush outbreaks. Sweats... If so, then in your position, I would go back to the doc and ask for a second test. And while you are there, ask for a vit D3 test, and a Vit B12 test too. since deficiencies of these seem to be very widespread, and largely unrecognised by doctors. Just in case. [/QUOTE]
