A member asked:
Can a person get diabetes in months or years? my blood glucose was 95mg/dl in april at physical. gained 5lbs since. diabetes doesn't run in family.

Possible: It's possible to get it at any time, but if you are not overweight and do not have a family history, the chance is low. Best test is not a single blood sugar, but a hemoglobin A1C. If you ask for a consult from a doctor on HealthTap Concierge, they can order that test online for you.
