A member asked:

What to do if i have type 2 diabetes i tested 210 with finger prick test is this normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

T2DM: A glu of 210 is not "normal", but you do not say if this is fasting, after a meal, what medications you are on, etc. Rather than a random glu, your doctor should do an A1C test, which looks at overall control. There are many issues that you need to discuss with your doctor about your diabetes.
