Type 2 Diabetes Range

[Richard9999]

Hello

I was diagnosed with type 2 Pre-diabetes about four months ago, given a diet sheet and advised to take my blood sugars (I bought an accu-check instant monitor).

My HbA1c came back as 44 which I think converts to around 6.4 mmol/L or somewhere in that range.

My average blood sugar pre and 2 hour post meal time over the past 3 months is 5.8 mol/L (there isn't any material difference between pre and 2 hour post meal readings), in fact sometimes earlier in the day it is lower post meal. From the UK diabetes website this puts me at the top end of normal rather than pre-diabetic?

My waking blood sugar average around 6.8 to 7.2 mmol/L and I understand this may be due to a 'dawn phenomenon' which you can't do much about.

So my question is, should I be classed as pre-diabetic and be worried or have the morning readings skewed the entire data?

Thanks

Richard
