Q: can the fasting and pp test result for diabetes be same? or could it be a laboratory error or printing mistake from the hospital? thanks?

: What do you mean by post-prandial? What did you eat or drink? How much did you eat or drink? How much time elapsed between the intake and blood draw? How long did the blood sit around before being tested? If done properly, post-prandial level would be expected to be higher. Talk to the doctor who ordered these tests.
