Blood sugar: You could be developing pre-diabetes. Talk to your doctor about this!

?fasting: A fasting blood sugar of 102 is borderline normal. A hgb A1c is the test used to determine whether a person has diabetes. Discuss this with your physician if you have not already had a hgb A1C done. This blood test will show you what your average blood sugar has been in the last several weeks.
