I would not really worry about having a 99 for fasting glucose. 125 is the point of which fasting glucose is called pre-diabetic, you aren’t close to that. The real question is, what was your A1c? That number tells what your average glucose level was over three months. I never do fasting glucose tests, but every three months I do an A1c.

Drugs like Lupron, Orgovyx and etc. Also raise your blood sugar, They say to check your blood sugar regularly when you are on those drugs.

Your diet can change your glucose level very quickly. Stay away from sweets and eat a lot of vegetables “almost sounds like his is your mother speaking”. You really do have a lot of control over it.

I have gone from what they called prediabetic to completely normal by just eating fewer sweets And more fruits and vegetables. Something like the Mediterranean diet can keep your blood sugar low.

Thanks for your reply, jeffMar,
I have never tested my A1c, so it is unknown. I do my weekly testing at home to keep a tab on the sugar. I do eat only healthy foodstuff and keep a healthy weight. The hospital do a blood test every three weeks and the doctor has not complained yet. It has always been around the 80:is. Until now. Probably will be a little bit higher next time.
