Rather than sitting around and worrying about this, I strongly suggest you just call the doctor and ask what the reading was and also explain that your son cheated with a half banana! (Hey, there are worse things a teenage boy could cheat with you know!) That half banana should have, in theory, caused his blood sugar level to increase. So, if it was still within a normal range, I seriously doubt there's a reason to be concerned, but this should be verified, if only for your peace of mind.
"Q: How does the FPG test define diabetes and pre-diabetes?
A: Normal fasting blood glucose is below 100 mg/dl. A person with pre-diabetes has a fasting blood glucose level between 100 and 125 mg/dl. If the blood glucose level rises to 126 mg/dl or above, a person has diabetes.
