[QUOTE="rosserk, post: 930100, member: 166333"] Thank you at my practice if you have two random blood glucose measurements over 11.1 which is also a diagnosis method advocated by NICE and the WHO. The practice will not accept the results and insist on a positive HBA1c which can miss diabetes under certain circumstances. If the HBA1c comes back below the cut off point they will ignore the two random tests and offer no explaination other than you are NOT diabetic! Which would indicate that random blood tests are not accurate so why are NICE and WHO saying they are? There seems to be a correlation between testing methods used and the area you live in. For example someone in Wales could be diagnosed diabetic based on two random blood sugars but someone in England is not even though both patients had the same result. [/QUOTE]
