A question for mrs D or anyone with knowledge about Diabetes.

I was diagnosed with alcoholic P/N about 4 years ago. The diagnoses was based on my history and normal blood sugar and otherwise a very fit 50 year old.

That was in Bangkok but recently I have received a disability pension In Australia so i decided to see my mothers neuro (she had parkinsons and F/M)

Anyway during his initial consultation he did an EMG and when it was finished he clasped his hands and with a big smile declared I have Diabetec P/N.
This is without any blood tests and with me declaring i have drunk heavily since 18years old (thought he would have jumped at the prognosis )

He prescribed a slow glucose test which i didn't have time to wait for and went back to Bangkok where i am now

today did a fasting blood sugar test , no food for 9 hours and my result came back normal, it always does.

90 < 70-110>

question, is it possible to have diabetes in this range?

I have no symptoms

Should I get the longer glucose test? dont really want to pay out of pocket for nothing.

Is my Neuro okay? A big diagnoses and he is really certain, all from an EMG
