No. Many medications can CAUSE that to happen in healthy people. Steroids (such as cortisone shots) and Decongestants cause significant increases in blood sugar levels in ALL people.

Not at all. Diabetics measure blood sugar after at least 8 hours fasting. Even non diabetics blood sugar will probably go quite highly into the diabetic range after a heavy fatty meal or eating chocolate or something similar.

I think a "history" of diabetes could also be talking about members of your family.

Heck no. Lots of things can make your blood sugar go up. Stress and illness to name a couple.

no, I believe its actually called hypoglycemic(spelling is incorrect, sorry). My brother passed out once when he was sick because it hurt his throat to eat, so he had like no sugars in him. Then he drank a pop on his way to the ER and his bloodsugar skyrocketed. they had to run tests, but told him he was not diabetic but hypoglicemic(or whatever the spelling is).

That depends on the circumstances of the high sugar and when taken. An A1c hemoglobin would be diagnostic. I would say no.

No. I would ask to have that removed from your record. It will make it more difficult and more expensive for you to get health insurance in the future.

no, if your doctor coded your visit right, it would be abnormal clinical laboratory results and do a follow-up test.
