"thanks, Robert. i did just find some info that one is pre-diabetic if your glucose is higher than normal. if the banana elevated his reading, it still wasn't high enough to be pre-diabetic so i think we're okay."
I agree. I would call a nurse and tell her, though. She will probably say what you surmise is true. Be aware that diet-sodas can mess with your glucose tests if drunk while you're supposed to be fasting. If he does have pre-diabetes or is even suspected of "pre"-pre-diabetes, he had better buckle down and stop it. Eat right and lose weight if he needs to. It is a very serious disease.
