What Does This Fasting Blood Sugar Level Indicate?
Question: Is a score of 111 glucose on a blood test without fasting indicative of diabetes.
Brief Answer:
No it is not diabetes
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXX,
Welcome to HCM. I have gone through the question and understand your concerns.
There are 2 situation regarding high blood sugars.
1. Pre diabetes (risk of developing diabetes)
Fasting blood glucose : 100 -125 mg/dl
Random or 2 hours after food : 140-199 mg/dl
2. Diabetes
Fasting blood glucose : 126 mg/dl and above
Random or 2 hours after food : 200 mg/dl and above
So a random sugar of 111 mg/dl is not indicative of diabetes or pre diabetes.
Hope I have answered your questions. If you have any further queries I will be happy to help you.
