Hi,
I have just had a health assessment and my blood sugar level came back as 6.57 and that was after fasting for about 10 hours. I am a 30yr old white male and have no history of diabetes in the family, my body fat is under 12% I eat healthily and i swim 5km a week. In fact I completed a swimathon just few days before getting these results. I don't suffer from any of the listed symptoms of diabetes.
I guess I would need further tests to see if these levels are maintained, but can anyone tell me if there are other factors apart from diabetes which may explain why my blood sugar levels were high? Are some people's sugar levels naturally higher than others?!
Any advice or help would be much appreciated as I am quite concerned about this recent discovery
Many thanks.
