Your post makes me think I should now be more concerned I could still have diabetes and have other tests.
Yes 85 is normal fasting but a 2 or more hour glucose tolerance test is more accurate. It shows if your body is controlling and processing the sugar you ingested as high levels can damage organs and tissues.
