A member asked:

Have i got pre diabetes i'm not a diabetic but my blood sugars were 6.5 mmol higher then yesterday. is this worrying?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly: Sugars vary throughout the day depending on your diet, exercise, stress and infection. A diabetic meter is not an exact reading. Rather it gives you a number in the range of a sugar from a blood drar but can easily be 15mg percet high ot low. If you are worried, have your lab do a hemaglobin a1c.
