This is true, Eunice. It should be two or more times fasting above 126 mg/dl.

He probably has impaired glucose tolerance so it is good that he eats like you

do.

I have an aunt that had a couple high fasting numbers (above 126), several

years ago. The first one was found when she went in for a complete yearly

physical. She went back and the number was lower, then the 3rd test was

normal.

She goes every year for a physical have blood work done, labs. She still

does not have diabetes.

My husband had a physical done several years ago. His blood work showed a

bg of 157 or something near this number. His doctor told him to come back

the

next morning fasting. His fasting was 69. Again, that was several years

ago, he gets a physical including blood work, labs every year. He does not

have diabetes.

A one time high fasting or a one time high bg's after a meal does not

indicate diabetes.

How right you are Eunice, normally my husband tests around 95 but in the test

run at the VA he tested 127, they tested again and I don't know what it was but

he is not a diabetic. Different things factor into the tests sometimes. Tres

Not in all cases. Most times a second and sometimes a third test is done.

A high fasting could be the result of something other than diabetes.
