A member asked:

My level of glucose and nothing is wrong. is 1 glucose test enough to diagnose diabetes?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Usually you want to have two or more consistent results. However, if you're overweight, don't wait until the diagnosis is made. Start now and prevent diabetes rather than having to treat it later. Die/exercise are of utmost importance now>.
