Started insulin 6 yrs ago playing catchup i think.Its all about numbers...... 106mmol/L indicates a pre diabetic state....Usually checked with an HbA1c test.
13mg/dl ......indicates your blood sugar - usually with a finger prick test.
Your normal (non diabetic) blood sugar would be between about 5 - 7 on the finger prick test and a fasting blood test would show 70-99 on the HbA1c test.
So you're not that far away from getting your blood sugars into a "normal" range. Hopefully you'll be able to get the sugar level down with diet and medications, rather than going in with both feet and starting on Insulin. Good luck....
Had all the symptoms when i was 10 but not diagnosed until 50 so 20 years on paying the price.....
