Ok, so I got a fasting blood glucose test done along with a postprandiol. It was done for pcos testing to see if i'm insulin resistance, not because diabetes is suspected. Well, i'm confused because the nurse called me back and told me that all my bloodwork is within normal limits including my glucose. I know that 70-110 is a good range and when I asked her what my results were she said the fasting was 7.3. I don't know if she was reading the wrong lab result (i had alot of tests done) or if they used a different scale. I posted this question on a pcos board and somebody responded saying that they used a metric scale so I should multiply by 18, which would mean the result is 132, meaning I am diabetic. Do any of you all know that this is true or know what scale they are using? I don't think the poster is right, b/c I am pretty sure that a doctor would have to tell you if you were diabetic and that they would not have told me that everything was "normal and healthy"...Plus they also did a postprandiol, which would be even more proof that I was diabetic if that was off.
