I had to ask my family doctor a couple times before he got me the GTT test. He didn't seem to know Pre-diabetes doesn't have to show up in a regular blood test. Since I was on Risperdal so long I wanted that test for Pre-diabetes. I'm glad that your PN expert diagnosed Pre-diabetes as your cause based on your GTT test. Was that all he needed to make the diagnosis?
Hope you got to relax a bit. Take care.

Thanks mate, i am glad that you were on to the side affects of that drug and you pushed for the GTT, with those results it's real important to keep that weight off, no high sugary carbs, eat sensibly which you are and as Mrs D said, eat lots of Low GI foods especially,the benefits are that the blood glucose level rises and falls gradually, providing a slow release of energy from carbohydrate into the body.
My neuro sent me off with a long list of blood tests to get done as well as the
GTT, all the rest come back ok, but of course my sugar levels were not.
Brian
