Question

My 49 year old husband went for a pre-employment physical, and they told him his blood sugar was 606 mg/dL [33.7 mmol/L]. There is no history of diabetes in his family. Should we be overly alarmed? The doctor's office called for him to come in the first thing tomorrow morning. What should we expect?
