Anyone know much about diabetes?

[MarmMummy]

Have to have a fasting blood test this am to check for diabetes.

I'm curious as have just tested my blood with an old kit I was given when I had gestational diabetes and its 6.7

As far as my memory goes this is a bit raised for first thing in the morning but not dire.

However, by the time I have got the 2 DC dressed and out the door, and done a brisk walk to the docs won't it have gone down and therefore look normal?

Whish is clearly what I hope as don't want to be diabetic!!

which even
