Any Suggestion For Glucose Level Of 113 With Family History Of Diabetes?
All my blood work panel is normal range except Glucose reading is 113. I am 60 years old about 220lbs. 5 9 . I have diabetes on both sides of family, all grandparents, parents that have had diabetes have lived into their 90 s with long term diabetes, so I pay attention to this higher then normal reading. Is this to be alarmed about or pay attention thru diet and weight loss?

Dear,
I hope this is a fasting level. It is mild increase. At present you do not need any medication. You need to reduce your carbohydrate intake and at least a daily good walk. This will burn your extra calories. Since you have bilateral history it is good that you keep a periodical ceck on it.
