About 8 months ago i had a fasting blood glucose test with other cbc blood work......mine was a 99

Is the fasting test good at finding diabetes?
I know of the a1C test but never had it as far as I know...I've had lots of blood work done at emergency rooms over the years but nothing showed up....and they took a lot of blood.....

I seem to have a lot of symptoms along with non stop left back pain just below bottom rib.....

I'm very worried.....very...

This is a question for your Doctor, not here. It's as much a lifestyle question as glucose reading, so an answer must be given by somebody who's qualified to answer.

And I read that chickens lay eggs.

That doesn't make me a chicken.

My hubby is t1 since age 4. It's a very good test as it detected his as a child when breast showing extreme symptoms. It's also been accurate for my pregnant friend who had gest. Diabetes and she had pregnancy hormones going on.

This was 91 btw.
