Sort of!. In a standard blood test, they will check to see what your glucose level is!. If its over around 100, it could be indicative that a person is a diabetic, but a higher then normal glucose level could mean other things!. It could be high if someone just drank a mountain dew before they took the test!. If it was elevated, they would most likely have the person come back in for a fasting glucose test!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
A blood sugar level two times above 180 is a diagnosis!. Usually if they do a blood test they will check the blood sugars!. If it is high your Dr will test you again to make sure!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

FASTING blood sugar >126 2 separate times is a diagnosis of diabetes!.
