Hi all,
I was having a dry mouth a few days and got worried it might be the blood sugar and went to check. The results came out:
Fasting - 95 mg/dl (normal <99)
After 2nd hour of taking 75 g glucose - 142 mg/dl (normal <140, prediabetes 141 - 199, diabetes >200)
I am a male, 37 years old, office employee, my BMI is 34.
Do I have pre diabetes based on results above? As I am a bit confused since fasting is normal but 2nd is higher. How much worried should I be as I want to understand how bad I am? Is my understanding correct that losing weight is key to lowering those numbers?
Regards,
