Bill's "sweetness"
OK, I've been doing more thinking on this very topic, ......
Bill, I have another non-diabetes theory about why your fasting bld. glucose was elevated. You stated that you'd fasted for 16 hrs, in hopes that the results (ie, the blood fats - cholesterol & triglycerides) would be "good". I'm wondering if maybe that length of time was too long (since only 12 hrs is required) ... and what happened is your body began to break down some of your muscle tissue to provide proteins/amino acids ... AND ... this would have stimulated the liver to produce and release glycogen (ie glucose) into the bloodstream.
OK, that's my theory, and I'm stickin' to it .. ... Anyway, I sincerely hope your aberrant blood sugar result was just a fluke, a one-time blip in an otherwise healthy profile. Here's hoping.
