| Well, things are worse then I was told over the phone. My lab results say 5.8 on the paperwork, NOT 5.5 like the nurse (or whoever) said. I am fairly certain I'm pre-diabetic. I just didn't think it could happen so fast (from last fall (FBG of 99) until March/April of this year. I still have seen some sites say that 6.0 -7.0 is considered pre-diabetes (A1C). My doctor is calling me back tomorrow to discuss my concerns.
So far my blood sugars are all within normal range after meals. It's the high fasting (those few times) and the high HBA1C that has me freaked.
The U.S.A cut-off for Fasting Blood Glucose is 99 for normals and 125 for pre-diabetics. After that, you are diagnosed Type 2. |
