Don't be scared: Your glucose is normal, the Insulin and homa measurements are meaningless. Don't be scared. There is a natural progression from normal to prediabetes to diabetes as you age and get more overweight, particularly if you have a positive family history. Start weight loss diet and exercise now to retard or prevent that progression. Being scared doesn't help prevent disease.
