If your fasting blood sugar level is 100 mg/dL to 125 mg/dL, you may have impaired fasting glucose — commonly known as prediabetes. To confirm the diagnosis, your doctor may repeat the fasting blood sugar test several days to a week later.

AccuCheck meters are notoriously low in their readings!!

go get doctor's appointment for complete physical including blood draw for CBC, complete blood count, and Lipids Panel.

If your glucose is high your cholesterol and triglycerides will also be high. And you probably also have an elevation of blood pressure as well.

So!! go to the doctor's office and find out if you have problems or not. It is much better to find these things out before high glucose levels do very much damage to tiny blood vessels and nerve endings!! Do Not Wait til you are blind or have bad sores on feet or no feelings in toes or fingers!!
