How to tell if diabetic

I am 36 male 6 feet tall and 165 lbs. I run about 20-30 miles a week. FOr a long time now, I just dont have any energy. I cant think straight and feel in a fog. Also, there are times if I eat certain things and then go out for a run, my blood sugar drops. (Usually if I eat somethign sugary before a run).

My dad has type 2 diagnosed in his 50's. He is overweight.

I have had numberous blood tests over the years. My blood sugar is usually in the high 80's/low 90's (fasting). Thyroid is always normal. Everythign is usually normal.

Not sure what to do. Cna you have diabetes with normal blood sugar levels?

"I have had numberous blood tests over the years." Human bodies can change rapidly. As Wave said, go see your doctor asap. The A1c will help your doctor determine whether you are diabetic, pre-diabetic, or normal.

I would suggest you see your doctor asap. Get a complete checkup that includes a CBC blood draw and HbgA1c (A1c) test.
