Yes, the reading can most certainly rise that much in 18 months. 6.9 is definitely a diabetic level, but not extremely high. What is important is to have your Type diagnosed and to learn how to manage your diabetes to keep it under control. There is a lot you can do towards that end but you will have to learn about it after your Type is clarified. Let us know how your appointment goes with your doctor Monday.

Hi,
Receptionist told me that it is  not  yet  at diabetes level .Maybe she  did not  wanted to  break the news  to me.
However i have compared my notes on this  and  checked my readings on the  tests done  last time  which was in may of  2008 and  my reading  was  5.2 . Today it is  6.9 .Can the readinng be  change in just 18 months  so high?
I would  like  to know  how  severe  my case  is  considering if 6.9 is  the correct measurement  and  I am still  30 year old and unmarried.
thanks ..

If you live in the U.S. I'm going to assume that 6.9 is an A1C. I'm not sure why you think that is "not diabetic"  because it is. Anything over 6.0 is considered diabetes. Please talk with your doctor and get him to clarify which Type you are. He can do an antibody test and a c-peptide which will clarify this. It is important to know how to treat you to be sure of your Type. Then make sure he schedules you to meet with a diabetic educator so you can learn about management of your diabetes. I'm sorry to bring you this information, but diabetes is a manageable condition and the more you learn the better you will do.
