Please Help Diabetes Pre Assessments now monitoring should I pay private tests?

Hi Debbie. Is there a doctor/nurse who specialises in diabetes at your doctor's surgery? My waking BG numbers are between 6 -7 and I have been diagnosed with Prediabetes. The general rule of thumb is that 2 fasting readings over 7 are enough to give a diagnosis of full blown diabetes. A fasting result of 10 is high for a non diabetic and I would be concerned. I think you need to go back to the dr and insist on some support. Book a double appt (you can do this at my surgery so assume you can at yours). In the meantime cut out everything white/processed (pasta, bread, rice) and anything sugary. If your dr doesn't listen, time to change surgeries I think! My drs are fab and taking control of your own health and wellbeing is encouraged. I think it is awful that they aren't listening to you. Good luck and I hope you get the support you need. Katie
