: Yes, it is a sign of glucose intolerance and you are at risk or already have type 2 diabetes mellitus. Normal fasting blood sugar alone is no longer a reliable test for diagnosing type 2 diabetes mellitus. You should see your doctor and have HbA1C test done to rule out glucose intolerance or type 2 diabetes mellitus.
