Fasting Blood test

I have the results now of my fasting blood test. If this blog is going to be of any value to anyone reading it, other than my usual humorous side on life then perhaps I ought to get slightly technical and explain what that means, otherwise those going through the same concerns as me won't know any better than I do.
A fasting blood test measures the amount of blood in your sugar after a ten or twelve hour fasting period. Basically you can eat or drink nothing other than water for a minimum of ten hours before the blood is taken.
The normal sugar/blood level is a range of 4.4 to 6.1 mmol/L (82 to 110 mg/dL) I presume the L is for Litres, but the rest is gobbledegook to me and no-one in the medical profession has seen fit to explain it yet. Mine comes in at 6.3 mmol/L, which is still high, although not stupidly so. I have no other symptoms though.

This morning I have had another fasting blood test, followed by a drink of Lucozade, also known as the devils urine, because it makes me feel sick and looks like a sample taken from the dark one after he has had a particularly heavy night on the Jack Daniels. After two hours a second blood test was taken. This is to see how well my body copes with drinking Lucozade. Well, not very well I can say, I felt sick immediately afterwards, and for the next two hours, then when I got home after the blood test I pebble-dashed the toilet, with high pressure facies, not my normal mode of waste expulsion, I have to say. Lucozade and I do not agree.

I was working nights, so the twelve hour fast was particularly cruel. One of the possible causes of diabetes however is thought to be obesity. At six foot two and averaging 215 pounds I am medically obese, but don't look it. One of the adverse benefits of the enforced fastings I have had so far for blood tests is that I now weigh in at a mere 209 pounds, so I've lost six pounds already without really trying. 

Updates to follow when my glucose test result comes back.

In the meantime I'd be interested in hearing from anyone who has successfully returned from the "Prediabetes" state to a normal blood sugar level and how they achieved this. Alternative medicines? Diet? Exercise? Bribery? I'll try anything within reason.
