[QUOTE="manicarrie, post: 646061, member: 128141"] Hi, it may be worth asking to see the nurse at your practice, don't tell receptionist why. The reason for this is that many GP nurses run the diabetic clinic check ups, and refer onto doctor or hospital for further advice. As for the 6.6 being pre diabetic, it seems that maybe this depends on the NHS Trust or PCt you are under, here in Swansea they still seem to be going between the levels of 4-8 being 'normal', which was a relief, as I feel hypo from 4.2 downwards, so the changes stated on the internet are too low for me to have and maintain, but 4-8 is doable. But this is where you need to speak to a medical professional, they can answer all of your questions, if they will (I have been up against many a hospital doctor who has fobbed me off and I have come away knowing nothing more, luckily not the diabetic team) [/QUOTE]
