Glucose was taken 4 hours after eating
Can't recall the exact results of prior glucose test Dr stated I was borderline and wanted to re test concerned the results weren't quite right
Is a 6.0 something to be concerned about? Considering I hadn't consumed any sugar, is pre diabeties a possibility?
My father had type 1 diabetes

Brief Answer:
need to check the fasting and postprandial glucose:
Detailed Answer:
Hello again.
Thanks for the details,
As the blood sugar has been borderline before one month and you are overweight, i would suggest to check the following in laboratory:
-Fasting blood glucose
-OGTT
-HbA1c level
Type 1 Diabetes is rarely inherited, don't worry.
A value checked with glucometer, incidentally 4 hours after eating, is not very reliable.
Please attach the above results for further suggestions, l'll be glad to assist you.
