Message: <blockquote data-quote="HELENACHENG" data-source="post: 128226" data-attributes="member: 24246">Hello, all. I am 66 years old female and new to this forum.  My mother had type 2 diabetes for more than 60 years, and died recently at the age of 91. Long life, yes, but filled with all types of complications that arose from diabetes.I myself have "impaired fasting glucose" (hba1c 6.1 - 6.5) and have not been diagnosed as a diabetic - yet, and am determined to keep it this way. I self test every morning, sometimes with a "blood glucose meter" and sometimes with the "plasma glucose meter", depending on the strips that I currently  have. My problem is the difference between the readings on these two meters is so great, e.g 5.9 on the bg meter and then 6.9 on the pg meter. I don't know what to do and every nurse even doctor that i talked to, assured me that it's normal. Where do I go from here? Shall I carry on testing?</blockquote>
