what number would make you a diabetic?
Question:
Answers:
To formally make a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes, you need to have 2 readings of a fasting glucose of 126 mg/dL or above. That is the technical definition of diabetes in the US. Anything between 110 and 125 is considered pre-diabetes (used to be called impaired fasting glucose).
Any non-fasting reading over 200 is considered LIKELY diabetes, but needs to be confirmed with a fasting plasma glucose of 126 or above.
After that, a different number, known as the glycosylated hemoglobin A1c (or just A1c for short) is used to monitor the adequacy of your diabetic control.
