Answers:
Hi Andurial,

Firstly, your BMI of 26 is not that bad (its only 1 point above 25, which is ideal)!. Losing just a few pounds would probably give you a 25!. A person is considered obese if BMI is over 30!.

Secondly, having flu or asthma don't have correlation with diabetes!.

Thirdly, just one glucose reading is not enough!. You will need fasting blood glucose!. Your doc can also check other things like pro-insulin, Hemoglobin A1C!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Okay having just one test come back high does not mean you have diabetes!. Just because you are overweight does not mean you have diabetes!. Go back to your doctor and tell them you want to have some repeat testing!. Next time you have blood test!. Make sure you are fasting for at least eight hours!. That will help to give you a more accurate diagnosis!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
