My Hba1c was way into the diabetic range, I have always had trouble with carbs, but never been tested for diabetes until 3 years ago.
Now that I am eating what is, for me my normal diet, I am down to the very top edge of normal, and there is no reason why any lucky type two should not do the same as long as they are prepared to accept that they have to eat foods which they can cope with knowing that their metabolism will only flourish when not drowning under a flood of carbs.
 
Hi confused & worried, try not to get too stressed, my results were in the same range. You will find plenty of friends here, some with bigger problems than yourself.
 
Been to the doctors told her everything that has happened and the self test results I have been getting she said I am on the cusp of diabetes but if I lose weight and sort my diet out I will be able to bring my numbers down naturally.

I just realised I missed that the 48 was my second test and I only got tested for hbac1 and something else a week before I had a full blood/liver the whole works test and everything was fine apart from the hbac1 which was 49 in this test

Try not to stress too much, if you are pre diabetic then it’s easily managed with some diet and lifestyle changes, it’s not the end of the world! To be honest, my diagnosis turned out to be a life saver for me, it was the best thing that could have happened, I have genetic heart disease and have had a tough time coming to terms with the changes that brought about in my life, I had just about given up and withdrew from social contact other than work, I was scared to live and just as scared to die. The diabetes was the kick up the ass I needed as it was something I could control unlike my heart, the irony was that taking control of my diabetes resulted in strengthening my heart, reducing my angina pain completely and getting me out and about again, I am living my life now better than I have for years, all because I became a type 2 diabetic........I’ve never been happier :D
