What Causes Fasting Blood Sugar Of 106 After Drinking Beer?
Question: I had one beer last night and checked my fasting blood sugar 106.00 I'm not diabetic. But check sugar once a week. Wanted to know if this level is normal.(my mother is diabetic)
Brief Answer:
Hello
Detailed Answer:
Good day.
Fasting glucose value of 106 is not normal but not in diabetic range as well. This is impaired fasting glucose. Beer has lots of carbohydrate in that. However since your mom has diabetes, it is better to get an HbA1C and OGTT ( oral glucose tolerence test). This is to stratify your diabetes risk status.
