Hi everyone, i already know i'm insulin resistant and have been borderline for diabetes for a few years. I also have polycystic ovaries of which metformin is used as a treatment. Because of this i have been takin 1000mg of Extended release glucophage which i take in the evening. Apart from this ive had raised cholesterol which is now fine with statins...however to monitor this i went for a routine blood test last week and have just got the results for my fasting blood test. The blood sugar test was 7.8. My question is could it have been altered because i accidentally went onto auto pilot and drank some milk when i took my tablets (statins etc) before my test. My last 2 tests were 5.8 after fasting and im on the glucophage now which i wasn't before so im quite shocked.
 
How much milk did you drink? Milk can indeed raise your BG levels.
 
Hi Emma,

The milk will affect the FBG, should eat/drink nothing for at least 8 hours before the blood test otherwise it may test high.
