What Causes Elevated Blood Sugar Level?
I am a 23 year old female of average weight. Healthy as I know. I ve had a few highs in my blood sugar but its not consistent enough to be considered diabetes. Today I haven t eaten anything in a few hours (around 4 hours ago) and drank one soda (12 oz) I just took my blood sugar and it was 205. Should I be worried?

Hello dear
Understand your concern
Normal fasting blood sugar level (8-10 hour fasting): Post meal blood glucose (2 hour after meal):
So i would think the possibility of diabetes.
It occur due to insulin resistance.
Obesity is the associated factor.
I advice you to go for fasting blood sugar, post meal blood sugar and HB1Ac after consulting the diabetes specialist.
Avoid excessive sweets, do regular exercise
Hope this will help you
