At this stage you would probably only get results if she took a Glucose Tolerance Test. The doctor will probably try to push the fasting glucose test, but that can only indicate a positive diabetes result since it's the last thing to go. So in the early stages a fasting will just come back normal. If you're concerned (and it sounds like maybe you should be), have her get the GTT. Most people have a peak at 1-2 hours after eating. So that might be the best time to test her bg at home. Good job staying on top of this, by the way.
