Dr. Marsha Davis answered

Specializes in Internal Medicine

Depends: Was your glucose fasting or random and how elevated? Was it repeated? Was a hga1c done to check your 3 month average blood sugar? You may be normal, pre diabetic or diabetic. It's hard to tell from the information given . Having graves does not necessarily predispose to diabetes but those with diabetes frequently get thyroid disease.
