Re: Elevated fasting glucose
Why are you catastrophising a single reading that in itself isn't concerning? Even the Doctor isn't worried, they want to test you again in six months. A single reading is meaningless.
Even if you get diabetes (so highly unlikely at your age), it's completely manageable and reversible with diet and lifestyle choices.
At 20 you're not a kid any more. You don't have to eat the same food your parents do. If you simply eat healthily (whole foods, no processed food, not the recommended standard American diet) then it's almost statistically impossible for you to be diabetic.
This is just not a massive deal, you're just making it a massive deal in your mind.
Re: Elevated fasting glucose
What might not be a big deal for you " Joe", is a big deal for others... Perhaps some constructive feedback?
Username16 .... I get where you're coming from, when we are in the moment the old rational mind is no where to be seen, we hear the things that we fear the most and forget about the other things a Dr might say.
What i would ask is, how is your diet? Could you go to a gym or walk etc to get fitter? Perhaps lose some weight etc? This will help you reduce your risk of possibly becoming a diabetic in the future and reduce your next reading...
Be thee of good spirit...

Whether or not you mentally make it a big deal, a single reading that doesn't mean the thing you're worried about still isn't a big deal. Sometimes people need to know that they are currently making a mountain out of a molehill. Which is exactly what's happening here.
Other than that I think I offered constructive feedback about diet, just like you did.
