FBS very high but normal PPBS
My brother is 19.
He got tests done for DGCA CLASS-II medical.
All his reports are normal (LFT,KFT,urine analysis) except FBS is 149.
He was given something sweet to eat after the fasting blood test and blood was drawn again after 1.5 hours on the same day.
PPBS is 102. No history of diabetes in our family.
Could this be lab error? We all are extremely worried. He is too young. How can his fasting level be that high but immediately after eating it's normal.
HbA1c will be done tomorrow along with GTT.
