You are now on that thin redline in regards to becoming a diabetic.
Did the doctor not consult with you regarding the results of this test?
I also would question the test itself. Did you fast for 8 hours prior to the test?
Not fasting for 8 hours prior to the test can give inflated results for both diabetes and cholesterol.

Yeah. I think it was 8-9 hours by the time they finally took the blood.
Nope. They do the test, mail you all the results, write some notes on it, and mail it to you. They say, "if it's serious, we call you in". Um,.. to ME diabetes is a pretty fucking serious deal.
So trying to avoid it would be a good idea I would think.
Their "hot tips" on avoiding sugars was about the extent of it. Last test, they wrote on there, exercise more, watch diet.
