Insulin Resistance During Fever

Question

Asked for Female, 16 Years

I took a blood test when i had a fever of 38.3 deg celsius. My fasting glucose levels were slightly outside the normal range, thus my doctor wrote medication for me. I have PCOS and am 16 years old. My weight is 94 kg and height is 170 cm. However, i found out that it is normal to get insulin resistant readings during a fever. Thus, the diagnosis might be false? Should i take the medication, or get another blood test to be sure? She said it's very mild, so shouldn't diet and exercise suffice?
