A member asked:
Is it advisable to have a meal before a blood test? my blood test result is bloated to 244 is that fatal?

Diabetes: I assume you are talking about blood sugar levels and diabetes. You did not clarify this in your question. A non-fasting blood sugar level of 244 mg/dl is a sign that you have diabetes and need to change your diet, lose weight and/or be on medication to keep your blood sugar lower. While diabetes can shorten one's life span, having a non-fasting blood sugar level of 244 is not life threatening.
