Get tested!: A fasting blood sugar is the most common screening test for diabetes. If further tests show that you have diabetes, your doctor can help decide the best treatment for you. If diabetes is not present, your doctor can help you adopt healthy lifestyle changes to reduce your risk of diabetes in the future.

Check sugars at home: If fasting for at least 8 hours fasting sugar 100-125 is pre-diabetes and 2-hrs after eating 140-199 is prediabetes. Fasting -126 and higher and 2 hours after eating- 200 and greater is diabetes can get home blood glucose testing equipment over the counter in pharmacies. then see MD if any of above apply
