Don't depend on Fasting Glucose or HgA1c to rule out prediabetes. Request an OGTT - Oral Glucose Tolerance Test, or a full Insulin Survey. \nAnd if you have prediabetes or diabetes, make sure your doc is screening routinely for eye disease, kidney disease, AND NEUROPATHY.  Neuropathy screens can be done using a tuning fork or pinprick. Perhaps the best screening tool is a 10g monofilament ( fishing line)."}
