Prediabetes Prediabetes Query

[Pesky30]

Hi all,

Although I'm not diagnosed with diabetes I have been experiencing some of the symptoms of late. I have recently purchased a blood monitor do check my levels daily before approaching my GP. I have taken a week's worth of fasting tests and the results generally float around 6.0 - 6.2 mmol/L. Could someone just offer me some advice on what other times I should be testing and what results I should be looking to achieve?

Welcome to the forum.

First have a read of the link in my signature.

We test before we eat and again 2 hours after the first bite. You are looking for a rise of no more than 2mmol.

Read around and ask lots of questions.

Thanks for your prompt reply, you've made things a little easier to understand.

It can seem overwhelming so baby steps!
