Thank you so much for responding so quickly, since I have no idea what I'm talking about concerning diabetes, I really didn't know what information to give you but here are some answers to some of the questions you asked:
OGTT Based upon 75g of glucose
my results normal range (from my lab)
Fasting 106 70-94
1 hour 210 70-179
2 hour 230 70-154
3 hour 167 65-139
I do have a doctor appointment coming up the beginning of January to discuss my results but until then, I've been doing my own research on the internet and trying to eat better and exercise 30 minutes a day. Thank you so much for your help.
I think your doctor would diagnose diabetes based on the results you posted.
