Okay,

About a week and a half ago I had to have a one hour blood glucose level test done. This was a fasting test and I should have fasted for 12 hours prior. Unfortunately, I forgot about having the test done and drank 2 cups of of hot tea before I went to bed. I had the test done about 9 hours after that.

The results were my blood sugar level was 257. What is the normal range before being considered a diabetic? I am at high risk for diabetes because my mother, sister, 2 brothers, several aunts, and my maternal grandmother all had diabetes and didn't even know that I had high blood sugar.

Can you tell me what the normal levels are? And could my drinking the sweetened hot tea 9 hours before hand affected the results?

I told my doctor about drinking the tea when he gave me the results today and he said he will order a 3 hour test while I am in the hospital after my hysterectomy (which is Saturday for fibroids, pelvic pain, excessive bleeding and enlarged uterus).

Thank your for any advise you can give.
