[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1703164, member: 94045"] I'm afraid we can't diagnose you, but if you haven't had an HbA1c test there is no harm in asking your doctor to order you one. This is the correct diagnostic test for diabetes. Just to make a few points. Testing an hour after a meal is a waste of time in your circumstances. Even healthy people will reach 11 an hour after a very carby meal. It is what happens at 2 hours and 3 hours that matters. Fasting blood glucose is so unpredicatable it is no longer used as a diagnostic tool in the UK without an accompanying HbA1c, and even then it is only borderline if it reaches 7. There are a lot of factors that influence FBG levels, none of them connected with food. (disturbed sleep, stress, time of taking the test, hormones, and so forth) My advice is simply to see your GP and ask for the HbA1c. [/QUOTE]
