Diabetes test result is 15 is this good or bad?


This is after fasting for 12 hours and getting tested in the AM. The lab flagged it saying it was borderline. My dr isn't worried and isn't dooing nothing about it. I've almost passed out from sudden hypoglucemic episodes twice in the past week. Any suggestions? Also is the 15 good or bad.

mmol/l is what it was or however the lab here in the us measures it. Dr did not seemed concerned but i've been told it's rather high. Diet doesn't help as i already eat fairly healthy

See another doctor. Yours is obviously a quack. As the others have said:
1) If this 15mmol/l you have full blown diabetes, hyperglycemia (type 1 or type 2 diabetes). Should be 4 to 6mmol/l
2) If its 15mg/dl you shouldn't be able to walk about (hypoglycemia). Should be 70 to 100mg/dl
3) If its your HbA1c its way too high and you have diabetes. Should be less than 6.5% (HbA1c is measured in % and therefor not dependant on mmol/l or mg/dl conventions).
If you don't know what it is, your doctor should have explained and he isn't doing his job at the very least, dangerously incompetent at worst.

You don't give us enough information. Was this in mmol/L or mg/dl ?

If you are in Canada and that was your blood glucose, its very high, and is not prediabetic, but full diabetic. If you are in the USA that would be so low you would be unconscious.

If that's your A1c, than you have diabetes and need treatment.

I really can't understand that being flagged as borderline, and not diabetic.

Look at the printout again and give us more info please.

that is high it should normally be 4.0 to 8.0 even after eating but even if you have diabetes the worse thing you could do is worry OK mine was higher then yours was and now i have mine will under-control and i will be the first to tell you it was the best thing that ever happen to me if you want to e-mail me or get me on messger do just add @yahoo.co.uk to my name here OK

Is that 15mmol? If it is, thats way to high for a fasting number. The normal is 4-7mmol (Note: UK and Canada use mmol). If thats 15mg/dl, thats way to low and you'd probably be in the hospital. The normal is aprox. 70-110mg/dl (Note: USA uses mg/dl)

15 is bad. Avoid sugar and high amounts of carbohydrates. Eat balanced meals with whole grain carbs at regular times. Losing weight helps control diabetes.

15 is actually quite high as you should be about 4-8. Try eating more healthier and it will be reduced. if it goes mcuh higher then yes you will be a diabetic.

depends on what the 15 is. Is it your blood sugar? If so, eat something. That is way too low and no wonder you are passing out.

15 for ur bood sugars??

dat is really high

make it between 4-7

control your diet is very important at this level.guess should ask your dr consider pils for you.Just to avoid complication ...
