Hello my blood pressure is good, my bmi shouldn't be too high. I have a neck smaller than 17 inches and a waist size of 36 pants so I'm assuming a 36 waist. It has been brought to my attention that someone can fail based of blood sugar. Ive done some research and im lost. Should i just avoid sugars and carbs leading up to the physical. Im not diabetic or anything that i know of

Is it possible to fail the blood sugar test and not be a diabetic. I already know im gonna cut out the following. Sodas,koolaids,breads,potatoes,rice,all pork and or red meat. Pretty much just vegetables and fruit and oatmeal and the like. Ill basically copy my grandmothers diet

You have a couple options, if your worried about it. Can go to walmart and get a diabetes test kit, or find one of these minute clinics in a Krogrer or pharmacy, or even your doc can test your blood sugar. Essentially, what will happen at dot test is you pee in cup. They part it out for drug test. The other part they put a stick in there and the stick will say if you have sugar in your urine or not. If you dont your good. If you do they will test your blood sugar by pricking your finger.
Stay off any sugar for a week. Including sugar in your coffe and sugary drinks and you should be fine.
One thing to keep in mind is diabetes just doesnt effect fat people, it can be inherited too. -
Why not have your personal doctor give you a check up and test your blood sugar?

How does a test kit work? My mother has pre diabetes and most of family has as one point or another. I cant afford that i dont have a doctor and no insurance. Its taking all my money to pay for class

My grandmother does a have finger prick machine that she uses daily

You're a doctor as in "Dr P Parker" and you're asking truckers about sugar level in a pee test?
