[QUOTE="Alison Campbell, post: 1852030, member: 91555"] [USER=487198]@ALLEYES[/USER] You need a print out of those results over 6.3 to find out if they were fasting blood tests or HBA1C. 41 and 43 are the new units to measure HBA1C and 42 and over is in the prediabetic range. Have you got a GP appointment booked, if not do this first thing tomorrow, just to talk about prediabetes and your latest lab results. This has been going on for years from what you say so do not expect it to be fixed overnight. Your pro-active attitude makes me think you can improve this. I know there is a lot of confusing information out there and you will need to decide what to trust and what to try. In my case I didn't get much help from my surgery and was told not to test my blood sugars at home. Testing helps you formulate the right meals to keep your blood sugar in check. It is a slow but important learning phase. I tested 2 hours after porridge and got a huge spike from 5, to 13.something and learnt porridge was not a healthy breakfast for me. Other don't spike so much or are ok with very small bowls! Any meals that take you to double figures as a prediabetic needs changing! The change is to reduce the sugar and other carbs that turn into sugar once eaten. Take a deep breath and take the time to learn and formulate a plan. Ask lots of questions and read around the forum especially the pre-d section here [URL]https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/category/prediabetes.40/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
