Quahog,
One of the spinal docs I saw insisted that I have a fasting glucose tolerance test. You might want to insist that your pcp send you for one...I did test high, but not high enough for medications...I think the high doses of steroids I was on for sinus infections threw my sugar off...I seem to always be on some sort of steroid whether it be a shot or a pill....Steroids can cause sugar to escalate.
