My dad had diabetes really bad and my mom was recently diagnosed. I was wondering if that is high enough to be considered diabetes and if I need to be on medication or not. Also my liver enzymes were elevated to the point of her doing the test over. I don't know if that has anything to do with possible diabetes or not. I am a 30 year old female. Thanks for any help you can give. Jamie

My sugar levels do run high though. Not like through the roof, but 132-193 all the time.
