The BEETUS diagnosis without labwork, please.

You cannot know for sure. You need an A1C level from bloodwork.

A taste test.

You can get lab work without a doctor

Don't listen to anonymous B. Use a glucometer, measure your levels for a couple of days. If you see any bloodsugars outside of the typical normal range, between 70(before meals)-140(right after eating), consider seeing a physician.

Wrong.

I'm not going to argue about this.

@OP

I've been diabetic for 30 years, where as Anonymous B has been volunteer diabetic for only a few years, and he obviously doesn't do a very good job of controlling it based on how many medications he's on.

Only you can decide whose advice you will take.

Would they need a fasting glucose level?

Fasting would just be the time between meals in thus case, especially first thing in the morning.

I ask because they've always made me take my diabetes bloodwork before eating

@previous (Kook !!rcSrAtaAC)

Yeah, typically a doctor will have you fast 12 hours before any blood work.

Also, only clear liquids.

This is what I did, but maybe see a medical professional to make sure. I never take my own advice though.
