Hi. Just got my labs back and my nonfasting glucose was 289.  Also  my total iron binding capacity was low at 234.  How do these two relate and I am worried I now have diabetes when I have never had this before,  Allison

Diabetes is determined by the A1C, not the glucose reading. However it might mean that your doctor will want you to do a fasting test for A1C.

I have no idea about the iron, but having a Type 1 son and a former Type 2 husband, I feel confident in my A1C knowledge. :)

Please consult your surgeon & nutritionist for how to do it their way.  Biggest regret? Not doing this 10 years ago! Every day is better than the day before...and it was a pretty great day!
