A member asked:
I have a constant sweet taste in my mouth. my fasting glucose level the last 3 days was 109 - 111 - 101 i'm an active healthy lifestyle person ?

Sugar: Those fasting levels are borderline diabetic. Check your sugar two hours after eating, if it is over 140, you should discuss with your doctor. Another test your doctor can do is a hemoglobin a1c which tells you how your sugar has been on average per the past two to three months.
