You might want to go see your dr about getting what is called a A1C hemoglobin. It tests your bloods sugars over a 3 month period. 130 for a morning blood sugar is not good. It should be between 70 and 100. Good Luck!

I too am having similar problems. I am not diabetic YET but the past few basic metabolic tests states my sugar is in the 120 range which is elevated..not bad but elevated.

The other day I went into a Food Chain Market and saw they were giving flu shots. I got a flu shot and then noticed they do various blood screenings for a small fee. I saw the A1c test listed and got that. It was only 30.00. I will know late today or tomorrow and will post it. This test will tell what one's sugar has been in the past 3 months like Nebraska stated. Good Luck!

My A1c came back this afternoon and it was 6.1. A tad high with an average of 118 for my glucose. I need to get it under 6, the report said.
