Q: What are good results for a 2 hour glucose tolerance test?

I had a 2 hour glucose tolerance test today and I had a fasting level of 107 before I drank the 75 grams of sugary liquid.  The next 2 hours I had 2 blood draws and I took my meter along just to keep track of the 2 different times my blood was drawn.  My meter started out at 92 with the fasting reading when the labs was 107. .  The first hour my meter was 125 and the 2nd hour it was 245.  I left the lab but continued for the next 2 hours to watch the glucose levels which were 156 and then at the 4th hour it was 94.  Would I be considered a diabetic or pre-diabetic?  Your answer would be greatly appreciated.  I'm concerned.

Hello! Are you having a baby or was your physician checking to see if you are Diabetic? The values vary between the 2. Click here and it will take you to a link about glucose tolerance test. I think you maybe a diabetic but I am no Doctor, I just live with itSmile. I would say be patient and wait until you talk to your Doctor and go from there.
