Are The Fasting Blood Sugar Levels Worrisome?

I had two fasting blood sugar levels done, the first 114 and the second 117 after a 2 hr. fasting glucose test. No other symptoms or risk factors. All other tests were excellent. Should I be worried? Waiting to hear from my Dr. regarding results. My two other levels were both 120 after drinking. Thanks

The first one is fasting you call it fasting because you you take the test in the morning with over night fasting that is more than 4 hours. The other one which you take after 2 hours of your breakfast is post prandyl sugar if it is so your results are fine. I don't recommend doing two fasting sugar.instead recommend fasting and postprandyl one.
