My mistake pabb, the test was a glucose tolerance test; not a fasting blood sugar as I stated in my post.

what are the rest of the numbers? a glucose tolerance test is a series of numbers, results obtained at different times over the course of from 2-5 hours..

I think a HbA1C will show more. Also a fasting INSULIN test.

Elevations with fasting insulin point to insulin resistance. (prediabetes).

A1C will show the average of blood glucoses over time.

Doctors only look for high blood glucose readings for "diabetes"...but the process involves more than that, before frank elevations become high.

I don't know... the test was for two hours and two blood tests were obtained; one prior to the glucose drink and then two hours later. He sent me a note that said the result was 101.

hmm seems odd to me, also see mrsd's repsonse ....fasting insulin and a Ha1c should be done as well.....good luck

This is an abbreviated GTT...typically what OB's give to pregnant women. It is mostly a screening test, and does not reveal what is really happening in the long run.

Here is a link showing a full GTT and how different they can be.
But I will warn you that many doctors fail to interpret the results usefully. They only look for significan elevations, and typically ignore the LOWs which are also important:

Hypoglycemia is problematic because nerves starve then.
Hyperglycemia is problematic because nerves starve then TOO.
In the second case in Type II diabetes, there is a failure of insulin to facilitate glucose into cells, so they starve. (and glucose then builds up in the blood serum. So the body tries to compensate and it stimulates MORE INSULIN, which makes more low blood sugar...this is how pre-diabetes affects the nerves.

I will definitely bring this up with my neurologist when I have my appointment Feb. 15. Thank you much for the advice...
