Hi,
The hospital took some blod after a 8 hr fast and all the said was my blood sugar was a little high. What numbers would I be looking for? And can they tell if my blood sugar is high this way? They didn't give me the numbers but I;m going to call and ask.

Thanks,

Michelle,

Yup, they can test it this way.

For a fasting level, you would want something between 70 and either 110 or 120 (people debate on this number).

In what I've read, it seems that anything above 110 is considered "at risk for Type II diabetes," and above 126 IS Type II diabetes.

The closer to 70 one can be, the better, although a slightly higher number has no bad effects.

Did your number turn out okay? Hope so!

Jen,
All the nurse said was that my blood sugar was a little high..no idea what that would mean. I just called them and the receptionist said she would get the nurse to call me back and tell me the actual number. Think I have anything to worry about?
