See below: 6.7 mmol/l is above normal range of 3.6-6.1 3am snack shouldn't have affected test drawn 12 hours later. Do u have symptoms of diabetes: frequent thirst/hunger, frequent urination, slow healing, vision changes? If overweight, losing 5-10 lbs (2.27-4.5 kg) may help lower fasting blood sugar. Exercise also increases uptake of glucose by muscles & lowers blood sugar levels. Discuss results w. Pcp.
