Need lab test: Fingerstick sugars done with glucose monitors are meant to be used by diabetics to monitor their blood sugars. They should not be used to diagnose diabetes as they are not accurate enough. A fasting sugar done by a lab above 125 is considered diabetic, normal is under 100, impaired glucose tolerance is between 100 and 125.
