A member asked:
Does a fasting glucose blood test rule out diabetes type 1 and 2?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If it's normal: It rules out type 1 diabetes, but you can still have "mild" type 2 diabetes in the early stages with after meal glucoses being elevated but normal fasting. It's called impaired glucose tolerance. Check an hba1c test for more information.
