[QUOTE="Pinkorchid, post: 1199043, member: 166283"] I would not think you have any worries with a fasting level of 5.6 and many here would love to have those levels but only a proper blood test will tell you for sure. Most doctors will say that BG levels in the 6's are prediabetes and 7 and anything over that is classed as diabetes. Your doctor may not even want to do a blood test as you really have nothing that points to diabetes, peeing a lot without the excessive thirst is not really a symptom you are not overweight and it sounds like you have a pretty healthy diet and lifestyle. Yes cut down on the wine and the sweet stuff if you feel you need to but a glass of red wine sometimes is not bad thing plenty here drink that [/QUOTE]
