What Does A Fasting Blood Sugar Level Of 133 Indicate?
Question: I'm 41 this morning I checked my blood sugar before meal it was 133 .... So m I having diabetes
Brief Answer:
A single reading may not be enough
Detailed Answer:
Good day,
Noted your question. A fasting blood glucose value above 126 suggest diabetes. However, a single reading may not be sufficient to diagnose diabetes especially if you have nil symptoms. Kindly reconfirm by a fasting blood glucose ( atleast 8 hours fasting with no calories) and an HBA1c.
