Possible Diabetes? HELP...

hi, i'm 33 and my grandfather has diabetes (non-insulin dept) and after some discussion with him, he has peaked my suspicions about MY blood sugar levels. over a year ago, i was in the ER with a kidney stone (also inherited from my dear grandfather!) and the dr. told me after taking a blood test that i should see my dr. b/c i "may be turning diabetic" due to my BSL (at 4:00am) being 187. i didn't see my dr about it, b/c during pregnancy, my glucose tests came back great. (no worries, right?)

then, last evening my grandfather tested mine blood sugar with his poking monitor & it was 133 (2 hrs after eating pizza). grandpa is concerned. should i be?

any input would be appreciated.

thx,
