Yes. You can be diagnosed as diabetic. However, if this is a one off test, do not jump on to insulin straight away. First under go GTT (Glucose Tolerance Test) and HbA1C Test. HbA1C is considered to be more reliable test in determining whether a person is diabetic or not. When you consume more sugars on the previous day, the fasting test can not be taken as reliable. Therefore, before jumping onto insulin bandwagon, better consult a good diabetician with GTT and HbA1C Results.
