I have no idea why your blood sugars are like that. Your fasting is in diabetic range. Your PPBS is close to diabetic range. What does your doc say? The doc may want to repeat your results. http://www.amarillomed.com/howto.htm#Glucose: "Glucose: This is a measure of the sugar level in your blood. High values are associated with eating before the test, and diabetes. The normal range for a fasting glucose is 60 -109 mg/dl. According the the 1999 ADA criteria, diabetes is diagnosed with a *fasting* plasma glucose of 126 or more. A precursor, Impaired Fasting Glucose (IFG) is defined as reading of fasting glucose levels of 110 - 125." Judy Dilworth, M.T.
