Is The Blood Sugar Level Normal With No Diabetes?

I had a blood test done after not eating for 12 hours. My bloodsugar level was 113. i am also being tested for possible hyperthyrodism. Do I need to worry about having diabetes? I have had for over 10 years problems with irregular heart beats. Testing has been done several times with no results. I did have a stent placed during a heart exam done through the groin. Thank you.

Dear sir i can understand your concern.
in my opinion you might be in the early stage of diabetes.
blood sugar between 100-126 mg/dl is called as impaired fasting glucose.
but i suggest you to check a test called Hba1c% for better analysis of the condition
Hba1c% greater than 6.5% is considered as diabetes.

i would like to tell you regarding diagnostic criteria of diabetes
he diagnosis of diabetes requires one of the following:

• A fasting glucose ≥ 126 mg/dL;

• A hemoglobin A1c level ≥ 6.5%;

• A random glucose level > 200 mg/dL in a markedly symptomatic patient(symptoms like increased urination,thirst,weight loss,blurred vision and non healing ulcers.

in my opinion its advisable to do lifestyle changes this will prevent you going from pre diabetes towards diabetes
daily exercise for 45min and control diet.
meet a dietitian for better advice.

relax and enjoy your life


hope this explains

regards
