Felinfan,

The area of pre-diabetes is not something I am at all familiar with, partly becuase in Ireland there is no official classification of pre-diabetes (I believe this is largely a political decision) and also because there was no doubt when I was diagnosed, my A1c was 11.6 and FBG was 378.

I would suggest that if you are seriously concerned about being diagnosed as T2 that you should consult your Doctor. He will not base diagnosis on one FBG, to my knowledge doctors look for 3 "abnormal" FBG AND look at your A1c's before making a diagnosis.

If you feel you are likely to be diagnosed and have a strong family history, then perhaps it would be wise for you to consider your diet, can you make any changes to make it a healthier diet, could you cut down slightly on your carbs or the sweet things?

You didn't get a reply from me earlier, because I haven't been online, like Penny I generally respond when I have something to offer. I don't think it is necessarily fair to complain about 65 views and no answers, it is no harm to have 100 views and only one valuable answers rather than 100 answers that won't help you.

You are very welcome here, please try to give your a little break and don't stress out to much, most of us here would love your BG readings. I would urge you, if you are concerned to speak to your doctor.
