Yes I just found out my mom is diabetic we eat the same foods because we live together I go to the doctor January 13th Im a little afraid to find out if Im diabetic what glucose level is too high that can make me diabetic so I can change my eating habits Im so nervous?
I understand your concern. Diabetes may develop due to various factors. The general mechanism is that isle cells of pancreas are not producing insulin which helps in keeping your glucose levels in check or insulin produced isn't acting on the glucose to keep levels controlled. I would suspect diabetes if the random blood glucose levels is anywhere about more than 180mg/dl and would advice a fasting sugar test and glucose tolerance to conclude for diabetes. Eating healthy and keeping physically active helps delay the onset or keeps it at bay.
Hope this clarifies your concern. Thank you for the query.
Take care

Hi
Greetings from HealthcareMagic!
Fbs above 130 mg/dl and random blood sugar level above 200 mg /dl and HbAic above 6.5 will indicate that you are diabetic. Get yourself checked every 6 month and maintain adequate weight.
Take Care!
