Hi, Thanks for the anwser. I am just 36 years old. Do i still need to monitor the same way you have suggested?.
I just got it done about 5 months back and results as highlighted is normal (Fasting with Coffee got 90).
Is it fine i check it once every year. I have also got OGTT done last year....which was again having normal results.
Also what is the time taken for anyone to get diabetes once it is found normal. Might be a very Naive question.... Please bear with me

Brief Answer:
No definite time line to follow.
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX Hi! No you don't do this rigorous monitoring as a protocol. If your OGTT is normal then you only keep monitoring FBS and PP2BS once a year. If fasting is >100 mg/dl or PP2BS > 140 mg /dl then you can repeat OGTT. But your query was how to overcome the fear of developing diabetes? Now overcoming fear is a psychological concern. And you can overcome your psychological concern by being extra cautious. Therefore I suggested you a more active checking not otherwise as a protocol. Regards!
