“Worried about type 2 diabetes ”
I urinate frequently and can have cloudy urine after meals which I read could be a early sign of type 2 diabetes so I went in and had my hA1c done and fasting Glucose. They came back at 5.1% and 91 mg/dL which is in the normal range as I understand. However, I recently read a paper that suggested the best test for type 2 diabetes is an oral glucose test. I am wondering if I should be concerned or if I’m paranoid at this point.

There is no reason for having an oral glucose tolerance test to diagnose diabetes. The Fasting glucose is fine and the A1c is normal so there would be no reason to treat diabetes even if the Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT) is abnormal.
