[QUOTE="ButtterflyLady, post: 958610, member: 43498"] It's possible one or both of the tests was wrong, which is why it's a good idea to repeat them if in doubt. It's also possible that they are both accurate and the doctor is right, because there are a lot of quality controls on labs and mistakes are rare. If I were you I would keep testing my blood glucose each day on waking up. Hopefully at your next appointment things will be clearer. If you feel unwell please do call a doctor, even if it's after hours. In the UK there is the NHS 111 advice line for non-emergencies, or if you feel really bad, just call 999. There are various other blood tests the doctor can request that may help. The good news is that as long as your blood glucose is under 8.5, you're not in any danger from high levels. [/QUOTE]
