Another blood result

Another blood result marked as Abnormal but I don't know what it is?

Fasting glucose - measure of sugar in your blood - high but only just - indicator related to diabetes - but only just over the high end.

I'm not a Dr but I wouldt be worried about this. It is a non-fasting "random" blood glucose sample and I've had higher readings than that which have been normal on the next test. If your GP was worried I would have thought they would have ordered a test called a HbA1C which gives an estimate of your blood sugar levels on average over the past 2-3 months.

thanks iStevie - had misread the report and thought it said fasting rather than non-fasting.

Yes, would have expected HbA1C to be done if diabetes was suspected

I'm sorry but does not the * * ABNORMAL * * refer to something above the word as the Glucose 6.1 as Gambit62 says is only just high for a non fasting test?

[Gambit62 Administrator in reply to clivealive]

think it's probably from the section that did B12, folate and ferritin - which showed low B12

That's what I thought Gambit62 so perhaps Jacqueline_J could have another look at the "hard copy" and not worry about the Glucose test result

Hi there, thank you again for the replies, the glucose test that is pictured, that's the only copy and the only result, there's no other blood tests on that paper, I only hid my address details, as long as it's nothing to worry about, I just wondered when it was marked Abnormal and I hadn't been told xx
