[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1705475, member: 94045"] Hi and welcome, The 66mmol/mol is your HbA1c result. Under 42 is non-diabetic 42 to 47 is pre-diabetic 48 and over is diabetic. Have you got your own blood glucose meter? If so, what sort of levels do you see before and after meals? If not, it would be a good idea to buy one so you can monitor yourself rather than relying on your HbA1c results. You can then see at a glance what is happening when you eat, and this will help you to understand which your danger foods are and give you the opportunity to tweak your diet if that is the problem. If it turns out diet isn't your problem, it may be you need some additional tests to see if your pancreas is producing enough insulin. [/QUOTE]
