    That career path never interested me. Im just concerned because my grandmother, mother and multiple aunts have all had diabetes or pre diabetes. Granted all didn t get it until after mid life

    wrong. most type 2's find out years later. it's called pre diabetes and a lot of people have no symptoms

    parker- go to your grandmother and have her test you first thing in the morning before you eat or drink anything. that number should be less than 100. then test again 2 hours after eating lunch or dinner. that number should be less than 120-140. if you can't do that then like crappie said go to walmart and buy a relion meter for @ $17 and one bottle of 50 test strips for $9. hopefully you can afford that, it's less than a doctors visit.

    Test it before you eat, then 2 hours after you eat.

    Anything below 200. Most non diabetics are 100 or lower.
