Should i think i'm pre-diabetes by one fasting glucose test alone?!


Question: Should i think i'm pre-diabetes by one fasting glucose test alone.?
shouldn't i have the glucose tolerance test and do you think my insurance would ok that.? I just got a glucose test of 111 but i exercised heavily before the test and i don't know if that would affect it or not. plus i've been really stressed lately and i also have been taking a herb (fo-ti) which i read can raise or lower blood sugar levels. anyway i would think more than one test should be done. also are there kits that i can buy at the drugstore to test myself.? i have asked alot of diabetes related questions in the last week following this test so forgive me if you have seen my questions b/f.Health Question & Answer


Answers:
One test is not sufficient. You really need to speak to your doctor about your concerns because he/she knows your health history and can answer your questions and ease your concerns. It's why they go to medical school!Health Question & Answer

A normal fasting blood sugar result is lower than 100 milligrams of glucose per deciliter of blood (mg/dL).

If your fasting blood sugar level is 100 mg/dL to 125 mg/dL, you have impaired fasting glucose
