Honestly - there is no need to do a glucose tolerance test - I have never had one - and the normal method of diagnosis for a type two is by Hba1c test anyway.
I just find it scary having all that sugar in one go... i've probably done it in the form of chocolate or something.. but powdered it is quite scary..Honestly - there is no need to do a glucose tolerance test - I have never had one - and the normal method of diagnosis for a type two is by Hba1c test anyway.
I have had them, my final T2 diagnosis was via a OGT several weeks apart at the pathology shop. They still do them there as well there is a special area where you sit near the toilets.Honestly - there is no need to do a glucose tolerance test - I have never had one - and the normal method of diagnosis for a type two is by Hba1c test anyway.
How many did you have and what other symptoms or conditions led to your diagnosis?I have had them, my final T2 diagnosis was via a OGT several weeks apart at the pathology shop. They still do them there as well there is a special area where you sit near the toilets.
I was borderline diabetic for a number of years before I crossed the line into full T2. I used to get a hba1c test every six months, and I have had the the OGT on a few occasions.How many did you have and what other symptoms or conditions led to your diagnosis?

Urinating a lot, thirst, work related stress etc.
I weighed 102 kilo's on diagnosis, I sat on 98 kilos for a couple of years. Then I went on Metformin 2½ years ago and started with a moderate lchf way of life and chipped another 3 kilo's off down to 95 kilo's. I have a BMI of 25.2, I did not need to lose much weight either as I was not obese.What was your weight and body like and have you tried lchf if so how was it for you?
I am Obese. My BMI is 30.5, and I would love to get it in to the 25 figure. I am currently weight training and LCHF. I think it's working... Just want to be normal bodied tbhI weighed 102 kilo's on diagnosis, I sat on 98 kilos for a couple of years.

. . . . my GP said my HBA1C is slightly high and to exercise, so I am not a diagnosed diabetic.
They did a full bloods on me and my HBA1C came up with 105, that is all I know and they informed my GP to put me on to Diabetes meds
I take 0 medication.
I agree, it's appalling, people should have the decency to become dangerously ill before posting.
Absolute bunk.. please do not repeat this ever..The load test is a confirmation test. Its result can only be to an extent affected by physical activity level 24hrs before the test.
If still in prediabetic stage, there is still chance to recover. If already cross to type 2, no chance of recovery, the extent of pancreatic cells damage is too much.
Have you seen the OP's blood sugar levels?The bottom line is that the OP possibly has a serious medical condition, but without a diagnosis nobody can know what it is, and any advice being offered (in good faith as always) could potentially be quite dangerous.
Have you seen the OP's blood sugar levels?
We think.. even the OP isn't 100% sure.I have also seen that the OP had a HbA1c of 105 in February

From your second statement I would call that being a diagnosed diabetic. Welcome to the club.
Does that mean you haven't seen your GP yet?
But a repeat of 105 mmol/m when the OP's blood sugar is currently between 4 and 6 mmol/l is unlikely surely?

Agree that something more should have been done at the time.

Why would it be scary??
It’s a normal test undertaken 1,000s of times a day by people.
It won’t do anyone any harm, whether they are diabetic or not.
