Sort of: You probably measured you blood glucose with a glucometer. While these results appear within normal limits, glucometer results are not adequate for a diagnosis of diabetes. The levels used for diagnosis are based on plasma glucose done in a certified laboratory. Glucomoter readings are usually lower than plasma glucose.
