What does high glucose fasting mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many things: It could means many things including: lab error, pre-diabetes, diabetes, not fasting long enough...You need to repeat it and make sure it is not a persistent trend. If it's high again, then it is unlikely to be a lab error and you might need to be tested for diabetes/pre-diabetes.
