Yes!: You are def a diabetic. Get a glucose meter and check some fingersticks. Completely NL in the AM fasting is 70-100. 101-125 is borderline, >125 is diabetes. Go see a diabetes doc and get an A1C test. Normal is up to 5.7. Pre-diabetic is 5.7 - 6.4. Diabetes is >6.4. Check out this link from the NIH: http://diabetes.niddk.nih.gov/dm/pubs/A1CTest/A1C_Test_DM_508.pdf. You need diabetic tx!

A member asked:

I have a fasting glucose test soon. I get extremely nervous before tests - heart pounds and body floods with adrenaline. Would this affect the result of the blood test and would taking a 5mg Valium affect the result? (I am not diabetic.) Thanks.
