A member asked:

Fasting blood sugar of 85 always tired and thirsty, moody, and poor eye sight. does this mean diabetes?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Not Necessarily: You need to have a hemoglobin a1c done which assesses what your blood sugars have been over the past 60-90 days. If it is higher than 6.5, than the diagnosis of diabetes can be made.

Unlikely: But you and your physician should look for other causes!
