[QUOTE="Lazybones, post: 447631, member: 85347"] [b]Re: Question about my GP Referred GTT Patient Information Sh[/b] Dear Calumcco, I must admit that I'm a little confused as to what you are asking. I am assuming that the two figures that you mention for recent B/G tests were conducted after having 'Fasted' for 12 hours previously. If that was the case then the 7.9 mmol/L fasting B/G reading would indicate diabetes where as the other reading dosent, though it does show raised or elevated B/G levels. For diabetes to be confirmed your Dr would need to record both your B/G levels at 7.0 mmol/L or higher, so he/she might under your present circumstances decide to have you undertake a GTT test just to see how well or otherwise your body is able to deal with processing Glucouse within your bloodstream. It will then help establish just how close you may be to going on to develope diabetes in the conventional sence and mayby possibly with careful ammendments to you diet and lifestyle, avoid it all together.
