Hi..
The decision is based on if the diabetic control is good or not ..
Not on one particular reading ..
Though 258 is slightly on the higher side , if fasting is good, and HbA1C is good, we can still go ahead...
Mostly PP of 200 is acceptable.
But if all readings are high . Get sugars controlled by the diabetic doctor.
Follow your treating doctors advice .
