[QUOTE="Doireallyneedanams, post: 2403764, member: 519124"] So after almost a year of paranoia regarding diabetes I’ve bit the bullet and got my GP to refer me for a private OGTT. I have two siblings with type 2 & I was borderline in pregnancy with gestational diabetes. Since then I’ve eaten a low carb diet, follow up hba1’s were 30 & 31. During pregnancy it was 33. I eat a low carb diet though, so I don’t feel my follow ups are a good representation of what my body is up to. Needless to say nobody is concerned apart from me, and I should probably look to my father who has white bread every morning & mash every night and is not even pre diabetic at 76, but... I worry. Anyway, the clinic I’m going to offer a “basic” OGTT (fasting & 2 hours post) or a 3 test one (fasting, 1 hour, 2 hour) I want a definitive diagnosis. Normal, prediabetic, diabetic. What is usually used for diagnosis? In pregnancy I believe it’s fasting & 2 hour, though I didn’t have it hence why I was never confirmed officially. [/QUOTE]
