[QUOTE="AndBreathe, post: 648992, member: 88961"] I think [USER=41816]@Brunneria[/USER] is responding to [USER=121634]@Alice233[/USER] 's disbelief in pre-diabetes as a diagnosis, rather than specifically to you. But, I'm sure she'll pop in at some point and clarify. Yes, I think you should call the surgery and ask if you can drop by and pick up your test results. The print out will clarify once and for all. For completeness, if you had a Fasting Blood Glucose test, the name says it all. If you had an HbA1c test, that is not a fasting test. The HbA1c test isn't a snapshot of your bloods at the time of the test, it looks at the amount of glucose "attached" to your red blood cells, which gives an indication of your longer term blood glucose levels. This page explains the test and its implications in more detail: [url]http://www.diabetes.co.uk/what-is-hba1c.html[/url] I agree. You need to settle your mind, so that you can move forward and deal with it. How you feel is really very usual, so don't be concerned. [/QUOTE]
