If you didn't get the blood test when fasted then why are you posting this bullsh!t?

The test is completely meaningless.

Go tell your doctor so he can slap you upside your head.
So many of the world's problems could be solved by slapping people upside the head.

Yes because he assumed you took the test fasted since that is the only way those tests are given.

The person taking your blood should have asked you prior to doing it whether you were fasted or not, did you tell them you weren't?

they never asked so I didn’t answer a question that was never asked.

And I went in for blood test for some leg discomfort, not to see if I was diabetic, so I had no idea diabetes was being tested.
Again, who hurt you? Why are you lashing out at me?

Whenever your blood / urine is tested, a doctor should specify that you're sober and that the urine is your 'morning urine'. If your doctor didn't specify, you should've asked them. I suggest you retake the blood test sober and see the test results before you go into what you should do.

I’m always sober. Also, I’ve been told that an hba1c result won't be affected by fasting

With regards to drawing blood for testing, 'sober' means you haven't eaten anything for more than 6 hours before blood is drawn. It's not about your alcohol intake.

Also, I’ve been told that an hba1c result won't be affected by fasting
That is correct, hba1c shows your median blood sugar level over a longer period.

Yeah so my doctor just confirmed it. He said blood glucose was 6% and it’s that hba1c. He gave me a pamphlet about it and I gonna start easing off the carbs in my diet

Sorry to hear that brother. No need to drop carbs as a macro, just clean up the diet. Diabetes =/= low carb it means dump the sugar, alcohol, white bread, white rice, white pasta, desserts, and packaged goods (twinkies and chocolate bars shvt), potato chips, and things like that.

Also, if you don’t already, start weight training consistently.

I don’t eat any of that save for sugar which I only added this year. I eat cleaner than anyone I know and people make fun of me for it. Now they gonna be all “seee!?! Your stupid diet didn’t save you” people are ****.

Never ever ever had any

No idea how I can be pre diabetes. I have a host of food intolerances so I have to eat very clean and now this? My health is ****ed. What can I do?
How are your triglycerides? I hear people are more likely to convert to actual diabetes if their triglycerides are high.
Sounds like you eat pretty well already, aside from the Snickers. Bad bit of luck.

@Serenity we need some harsh advice in here, unban Razor, please.
Haha, that's more trouble than it's worth.

Here's my pro-tip for dealing with threads that makes you shake your head:
  1. Shake your head.
  2. Go back to the forum list.
  3. When you see that thread in the forum list, shake your head again.
  4. Keep scrolling.
  5. Pick another thread.
It's so simple you won't believe it. Nobody is holding a gun to your head telling you to give a sh!t.
