Are you a diabetic if your finger stick reads 150?!


Question: I am 6'0- 205 lbs.


Answers: I am 6'0- 205 lbs.

It depends on when you ate last if this is bad. When you eat everybodys sugar level goes up. An hour after your blood glucose level should be less that 175. 2 hours after eating it should be between 70 and 100

yes

that is a definite MAYBE!!

was the finger stick fasting for at least 8 hours? or was it between meals? or after a meal?

It all depends on when you did the testing.

If it was a fasting test, I recommend you make an appointment with your doctor for complete physical including Complete Blood Count draw.

I would say you definitely are. Although it is normal for blood sugar to rise after a meal, it should not rise to that level. I would proceed under the assumption that you do have it and, if you have not seen a doctor, you should do so for a thorough evaluation. The doctor will do a fasting blood sugar and a HGB A1C. The latter test measures your average blood sugar over about a 6 week period. You also need a urine check to make sure you are not spilling sugar over into the urine and that it is free of albumin, RBCs and WBCs. Good luck.
