I was told by a GP I had no sign of diabetes going by an overnight fasting glucose test, he said it was completely normal at 4.6 or [82.9] in your numbers, but when i got to see a neuro he said the overnight fasting glucose test is not something he would go by to rule out diabetes at any level and ordered the glucose tolerance test which showed I had prediabetes. |

I'm going to ask for a glucose tolerance test I think this week. I am wondering if you are prediabetic do you generally need meds?? And if so did that help the conditions taper off a bit??? |

I believe some docs do prescribe low dose Metformin for prediabetics to help but I wasn't personaly, metformin does deplete B12 levels, just a low carb diet and exercise helps a lot.
I stay right away from white bread, rice, pasta. potatoe and any high sugary carbs. best of luck to you |
