Hi, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.Random blood sugar more than 142 mg/dl is slightly more than normal. To detect diabetes mellitus, she should get her oral glucose tolerance test with 75 g glucose. Since there is a family history of diabetes mellitus, she should get the test done to detect diabetes mellitus.
Hope you found the answer helpful. Please do get back for further queries.
Wishing you good health.
