I was told by a GP I had no sign of diabetes going by an overnight fasting glucose test, he said it was completely normal at 4.6 or [82.9] in your numbers, but when i got to see a neuro he said the overnight fasting glucose test is not something he would go by to rule out diabetes at any level and ordered the glucose tolerance test which showed I had prediabetes.
Thanks for your input your not harping just being helpful and thas exactly what I need.
I'm going to ask for a glucose tolerance test I think this week. I am wondering if you are prediabetic do you generally need meds?? And if so did that help the conditions taper off a bit???
