Pre-Diabetic?!
Question: Pre-Diabetic!?
Should a person who has/had Reactive hypoglycemia, and then developed Pre-Diabetes begin testing their blood sugar levels!? I've been Reactive Hypoglycemic for a while, and now I am pre-diabetic (not sure if I still have RH, or if it's morphed into Pre-D) but I would like to know if I should begin testing my sugar levels with a glucose monitor!.

the simple answer to your question is no once you keep getting the hb1c test done as you were told by your doctor you will be fine, all type 1 diabetics have to if your type 2 in some case you do have but not in others but i know a few doctors over with type 1 and there view on this topic is even doe your type 2 and may not need to check your blood sugar levels very day they say that if all type 2 check there bloods also OK and to the same limit as a type 1 would but each day this would bring around better control of diabetes in type 2 this was just around the the time that pre-diabetes came into been here and i am not to sure if he meant pre-diabetic in that to i have type 2 and i have been checking my blood sugar levels 3 times a day from the day i found out i had diabetes but that was my own personnel doing and my doctors have not tryed to put me off doing so at the same timeWww@Answer-Health@Com
