A member asked:
Is 88 glucose really okay on a fasting glucose test ? it's my husbands range . he is 5'6 230 lbs 43 years old .

OK for now: Your husband's glucose is normal (i assume it was a lab test out of a vein rather than a finger stick) but he's overweight and that makes him more likely to develop diabetes in the future (along with high BP and cholesterol) pacticularly if he has a positive family history. Diet and exercise could lower his risks.
