Are the docs suspecting hypoglycemia? How far post prandial was your
glucose drawn? Typical span of time is 2 hours. What were your levels?

I'm not in chemistry, nor am I an endocrinologist. I have no idea why
your blood sugars are like that. Your fasting is in diabetic range. Your
PPBS is close to diabetic range. What does your doc say? The doc may
want to repeat your results.

http://www.amarillomed.com/howto.htm#Glucose:

"Glucose: This is a measure of the sugar level in your blood. High
values are associated with eating before the test, and diabetes.

The normal range for a fasting glucose is 60 -109 mg/dl. According the
the 1999 ADA criteria, diabetes is diagnosed with a *fasting* plasma
glucose of 126 or more. A precursor, Impaired Fasting Glucose (IFG) is
defined as reading of fasting glucose levels of 110 - 125."
