A: 293 would still constitute a diagnosis of diabetes, since it is over 200 - the limit for a random blood sugar, even without fasting. In my experience working with endocrinologists, the next step after âdiscoveringâ the high blood sugar would be to order an A1C test to measure an average over the last 3 months. An Oral Glucose Tolerance test may also be order to see how the blood sugars go over the course of 3 hours after a high carb load.
Now cover the pan tightly with foil. Now stick it in the fridge, and forget about it for at least 24 hours and up to 48 hours. When youâre ready to start cooking it, just pop it into a 300-degree oven, still tightly covered. Cook the brisket for several hours, or about 40 minutes per pound. At that point (about seven hours for mine), open the oven door and peel back the foil. Now, stick two forks into the meat and make sure itâs fork-tender/falling apart, which means you can pull it apart to some degree.
1 Bake, unwrapped, for 2 hours. 2  After 2 hours, wrap the brisket tightly and tenting the foil but sealing it for the remainder of the time, an additional 2 hours. 3  Feel free to check and make sure there is moisture in the foil, re-wrap and continue baking. 4  Approximate baking time is 1 1/5 hours per pound.
