Can you explain what you mean by "Non diabetic hyperglycaemia"?

I think it's an alternative term for prediabetes.

Have you had a blood test at the surgery to check your blood sugars? If so ask them what your HbA1c result was.
Personally I would email my surgery (so it's received in writing) and tell them that you were told you had Non diabetic hyperglycaemia and that you would like an explanation of what it means.
I have a suspicion @Martin.A will be correct

Ah! Thanks for that Martin. So no real change for @Tilly6364 then.

Just ask them what your HbA1C was @Tilly6364 as suggested in your recent thread:
You don’t need to see a doctor or nurse for that. Just ask the receptionist if they can tell you the result of your HbA1C test in numbers and have a pen ready to jot down what they say. If they’ve specifically said you have non-diabetic hyperglycaemia then that just means your blood sugar is a little higher than normal but that you’re not in the diabetes zone, so you wouldn’t need medication for that.

The NHS used the term NDH when they reported on their 2020-21 Diabetes Prevention Programme:-

I knew I'd previously seen the term but couldn't remember where.
