Default fasting glucose

Hey doc, I had bloodwork done for my cardiac workup for HBP and the fasting glucose came back at 101. I know this is a bit high but my MD didn't seem to concerned about it, any worries with the FAA for a class II?
Last time I had bloodwork done I drank a jumbo coke on the way to the MD, saw the MD, then forgot about the fasting and just went straight to the lab and it was about 105.
