Confused Confused about blood sugar levels--is my doctor correct?

I am wondering just what are normal blood glucose values and when it is considered pathological. I wasn't feeling well and had a metabolic profile run for a nutritionist to check my thyroid. I was please that my thyroid was normal but suprised to see that my non-fasting glucose was 166. It has never been that high before. I talked to my doctor about it and they assured me that it wasn't anything to be concerned about as non-fasting glucose can get that high. I told my doctor that I felt hungry all the time, urinated too much and had numbness in my feet. They did check my kidney function, which was normal, and then gave me a referral to a podiatrist to see about my feet. I don't know if I will go because it isn't a structural problem. The doctor said nothing about the numbness and has insinuated in the past that my problem is anxiety, like the numbness isn't really there. I plan on changing doctors, but I am getting worried because during the past month I was diagnosed with blepharoconjunctivitis, have a white tongue (candida) and some type of tissue breakdown on my feet. My blood sugar is not high enough for diabetes, but the associated symptoms are not normal for me at all, and I wonder if my doctor's office know' what they are talking about.
