Can only say maybe, although BG levels should be between 4 and 7 so they look ok, but you should get yourself down to the doctors and get properly checked if you want to be sure.
 
Your bg’s look ok to me Upgrader and I’d be amazed if they registered even in pre-diabetic level on a Hba1c. However, if you’re concerned, ask the GP if he’d test to reassure you. In any case you need the other issues resolving. Is your prostate ok? Are you suffering with significant stress? You need medical advice. Best wishes.

Normal blood sugar ranges;
For the majority of healthy individuals, normal blood sugar levels are as follows:

  • Between 4.0 to 6.0 mmol/L (72 to 108 mg/dL) when fasting
  • Up to 7.8 mmol/L (140 mg/dL) 2 hours after eating

Thanks for your comments, I will go to go to the gp and get properly tested, I am constantly stressed due to migraines insomnia and work, it’s a vicious circle
 
Welcome to the forum Upgrader. Sorry to hear about your partner's gestational diabetes and your health problems / symptoms. We can't diagnose on this forum, so please do consult your GP to consider all symptoms and tests. Please let us know how you get on. Your partner is very welcome to join the forum, too.
 
Definitely get to your GP and while you are there mention the extra urinating and ask specifically for a PSA blood test. Can just as easily be a symptom of Prostate Cancer!

Hope it isn't either.
