High fasting glucose, but normal OGTT. Is this normal?

So, my husband just had his routine checkup, and his glucose came back at 7.2—though, to be fair, he did have a late-night snack right before bed, which probably threw things off! Then, when he went back for the actual OGTT test four days later, his fasting level was 6.8... but here’s the kicker: after he drank the glucose solution, his two-hour reading was only 6.4 (!!!). I know, right?! This is the first time we've ever seen anything even remotely elevated. Does anyone here actually understand how this works? Could someone please explain how it's possible for that two-hour result to look so okay despite the initial numbers?

It sounds like fasting glucose intolerance to me. Just a heads up—whenever you're getting fasting levels checked, you really shouldn't eat anything for at least 12 hours beforehand.
He probably just needs to cut out the concentrated sugars for a bit, then get tested again—that should bring things back into the normal range.
My own fasting levels always hover around 6.0, though I hit 6.5 once.
But my OGTT came back totally fine.
And once I started watching what I eat, I stayed right around 5.0.
