Blood glucose level
Hello Doctor. Fasting blood glucose is 83mg/dl and post prandial is 76mg/dl (hexokinase method). Does the test results indicate I have diabetes? Please suggest. Why did the post prandial level decrease even after having breakfast (tea, biscuits and upma) ?

Your reports are perfectly normal. It's quite possible for some people to have a lower post prandial level compared to fasting level. It is because your body naturally produces more insulin to bring the sugar to normal after consumption of food
