From : From the way this is written, i believe you are implying that you have not been formally diagnosed by a medical provider with diabetes mellitus. First, normally to call a blood sugar test a fasting level, you would go without eating for a minimum of 8 hours. There are a number of methods for testing glucose to include a fasting blood sugar, a 2-hour postprandial blood sugar (done 2 hours after you start eating a meal), a random blood sugar and an oral glucose tolerance test which is most often used for pregnant women. You need to be seen by your doctor who will order glucose testing and then evaluate the results. I do not believe the information you provided is conclusive for a diagnosis of diabetes. That does not mean that you don't have diabetes. Recommend that you see your doctor. If you are diabetic , you will be offered extensive education on diet, what blood sugar tests mean, diabetes mellitus and overall life style changes to improve your health. Take care.
