My blood sugar was 6.7 after supper does this mean I am diabetic??
 
Not necessarily. Blood sugar upon rising and blood sugar 2 hours after supper might give you an idea. Check out this site for guidance on levels that indicate diabetes/pre diabetes.
Best measure is the 3 month average you can get from your doctor so if you have other symptoms go and request the HBa1C!
 
Just blurry vision at times but I’ve always had eye problems
 
May I ask what made you test your blood glucose level?
 
My cousin is diabetic and she was testing so i random tested too

What makes you think you are diabetic? How long after supper was this test, and what did you eat and drink?

Random tests are a waste of strips. You need to know what you were before your meal for it to be of much use.

Your cousin should have known that a random test tells you absolutely nothing. Perhaps she/he would like to join this forum?
 
That day I had lots of fruits grapes,cherries, apple, orange, banana,pineapple that’s all I eat during work hours , and for supper little Mac & cheese & a half glass of fruit juice and I did the test like 30 minutes after!
 
certainly carb loaded
30 mins one off does not really say much about the BG response. Early on time course testing is useful to see the response.
 
Hi

If you are worried then I would look at the link below for the major symptoms. If you have any concerns then see the doctor sooner than later. As for the test 6.7 after that meal looks good from the information supplied, I am not a doctor..
