Just tested my bg at 2 hours post eating and I am pleased it is only 7.2
OH asked me to test his and his was 8.6 he is not a diagnosed diabetic so how often should I check his bg before sending him off for a doctors test
 
Does he have any symptoms? It can be tempting to see diabetics everywhere once you have your testing kit out, but remember that non diabetics can have elevated levels after certain meals.
Get him checked if your worried but don't base everything on a single reading.
 
Swimmer is quite right, don't panic, but do remember that some diabetics (Type 2s) can have no symptoms at all - including me!

Try doing a few morning fasting tests for your OH, as soon as you wake up. Non-diabetics should be between 3.5 and 5.5 on waking.

If you have any doubts at all, make him go to the doctor. Only your GP can diagnose him correctly.
