Are There Chances Of Being A Diabetic If I Have High Postprandial Numbers ?
I have been checking my blood sugar with a home meter for a few weeks now. so far my highest fasting was 116. but i seem to have very high post prandial numbers. my highest reading so far was 391. I have had several over 200+. I havent eaten very hi carbs or sugars with these meals. I dont drink soda. I havent seen a dr yet,so I havent been diagnosed as diabetic. Is it possible that I am diabetic,even though my fasting levels arent over 126? I am overweight and pcos. I am female and 41 yrs old

Hi. Seems you have developed glucose intolerance when your post prandial levels are high. Even you fasting levels are in the prediabetic state. If you have risk factors like hypertension, overweight, smoking and family history please take action asap before serious complications set in. I would suggest you do a fasting blood sugar and also a Hba1c test to know for sure. Please consult your nearest diabetologist

Dear Stacyhaynes6369,
I am sorry to say you have diabetes.
Diabetes is just not Fasting > 126. Post prandial > 200 also proves diabetes. And it has been multiple times in your case.
PCOS and overweight in addition proves you have insulin resistance. Unfortunately, unhealthy diet is not the only cause of diabetes. Genes and sedentary lifestyle also play equivalent roles. It's time for you to see your doctor. There's really no point in waiting for symptoms.

Hi greetings from health care magic
Yes you are a diabetic. Your PPBS is 391 and always above 200. It should be below 150. PPBS is the real indicator to say wheather your have insulin resitance or not. When you are taking any carb diet it needs insulin to intra cellular assimilation. you are obese with high blood sugar so you should consult your dibetologist to start treatment as soon as possible to avoid all complication.
