Can a Blood Test for Diabetes Miss It?

Kalvin P asked:


I had a fasting blood test for diabetes and it read that I had only a fasting blood sugar level of 80.

Grace asked:


My husband just made E7 and he has been in the army for 8 years. He was diagnosed with diabetes 3 years ago and they let him stay in but, now they are now sending him back. I was wondering if they will just put him out, give him severance pay, or medically retire him.
