I had blood work done about a month ago and my blood glucose level was 107 and I hadnt eaten in 10 hours since I had to fast for the testing. Im overweight at the moment , currently 225 and only 5'3 but I also dont have any other family members who have diabetes so any insight would be great since Im not sure what to expect at my follow up next week.

The amount of glucose (sugar) in your blood changes throughout the day and night. Your levels will vary depending upon when, what and how much you have eaten, and whether or not you have exercised. The American Diabetes Association categories for normal blood sugar levels are the following, based on how your glucose levels are tested:
A fasting blood glucose test. This test is performed after you have fasted (no food or liquids other than water) for eight hours. A normal fasting blood glucose level is less than 110 mg/dl. A diagnosis of diabetes is made if your blood glucose reading is 126 mg/dl or higher. (In 1997, the American Diabetes Association lowered the level at which diabetes is diagnosed to 126 mg/dl from 140 mg/dl.)
A "random" blood glucose test taken at any time. A normal blood glucose range is in the low to mid 100s. A diagnosis of diabetes is made if your blood glucose reading is 200 mg/dl or higher and you have symptoms of disease such as fatigue, excessive urination, excessive thirst or unplanned weight loss.
hope this helps

This is still a normal blood sugar, however it is a little higher than most for 10 hours of no food or drink. If you drop some weight you'll be fine. the normal range is 70-120 for fasting, and up to 150 for after eating. However like i said, if you drop the weight you will be fine, otherwise you are putting a strain on your pancreas and it may cause you to develop type 2 diabetes later in your life. Your Doctor should have explained this to you. Check out the ADA website for more in depth information: www.diabetes.org

107 is called an idiopathic elevation, and is not a diagnosis of diabetes, 120 would be. The doctor may want to draw your blood for an A1C (glycosylated hemoglobin), this is not a fasting test, but will give a definitive diagnosis of diabetes. The level greater than 6 is indicative of diabetes. I would suggest that as you are over weight, you probably have metabolic syndrome, which is the precursor to type 2 diabetes, and it does not require a familial history of diabetes to develop diabetes if you have metabolic syndrome. Get your weight down by 20% and you can avoid getting diabetes. Remain the same weight, or gain, and you WILL develop diabetes.

I'm a 45 year old woman and was recently diagnosed as being a borderline diabetic. My doctor prescribed some medication, but before filling it I decided to do some research on the internet which led me to the methods. After reading this ebook and applying the methods, my scepticism turned to 100% belief. I noticed that my energy levels increased significantly and I felt more rested in the morning, my symptoms started going away.
I am very happy to tell you that I have been feeling better than I have felt in years and my doctor informed me that he will be taking me off my prescriptions if I keep this up.
I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

Since diabetes runs in her family she should be concerned and may need to go get blood test run to see if she has diabetes or is at the borderline. Fasting sugar should be at 100 or below, but after you eat can vary but 180 is high fir a non diabetic so if hers is that high without eating any sugar for breakfast she should get checked out so she can make changes now before actually having diabetes if possible because its much harder once you have the disease.

With the newer types of insulin these days, diabetic diets aren't necessarily as restrictive as they used to be. Read here https://tr.im/Zwn0E
As with any medicine or diet change, you should discuss it with your doctor. Fruits, both fresh and dried, have a natural sugar in them that will raise blood sugar levels, so be careful about eating too much. Not sure about the nuts. Moderation is always the key. I've been diabetic for 18 years and just recently changed insulin types. I love it because it gives me more freedom in when and what I eat.
