They could use the same sample for tests of several things, so unless your read the form you wouldn't know it was being done.The test is HbA1C (often shortened to just A1C). It estimates how much glucose was in your blood over the last 2 to 3 months (the life of a typical red blood cell).Pre- diabetes can usually be controlled by diet alone, but in your case this may be more of a challenge. People in this forum have found that the diet that used to be advised by the NHS is one that is almost guaranteed to turrn pre-diabetes int full diabetes, because often (but not always) it emphasises carbohydrates (which raise blood glucose) instead of proteins and fats (which have hardly any effect on blood glucose).My brother has no colon (due to bowel cancer) and although non-diabetic he can eat nearly the same as his wife who has just turned reversed pre-diabetes.What can/do you currently eat? Remember that all carbohydrates (both sugars and starches) raise blood glucose since they digest into glucose.Here is a link the blog post which set me on the path to Type 2 Diabetes remission:[URL unfurl="true"]https://josekalsbeek.blogspot.com/2019/11/the-nutritional-thingy.html[/URL]</blockquote>
