Just having one sugar level is not indicative of diabetes. He should check it on a fasting blood sample and again after eating. But 26.5 is a high level, he should be reporting this to his doctor and take further steps to confirm/rule out daibetes and necessary treatment thereof.
Note: For further follow-up, discuss your blood glucose reports with our diabetologist. Click here.
