A member asked:

Do t know what i'm doing wrong fasting blood sugar was 173 i am pre diabetic ac1 6.3 had peanut butter sand last night could that be why?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

The exact name: you call it is of no significance, but you have diabetes and need education, diet, exercise, weight loss and probably medication. Talk with your doctor soon. Some of the higher glucose may be due to the steroid shot, but I don't have enough information.
