fasting readings 126 or higher = somewhere in the diabetes spectrum, according to may doctor. (I got there by a 130 a year ago, and a 140 at my last physical.) Somewhere on the spectrum is what he told me - on my visit summary the diagnostic code was diabetes type 2.
140 is only normal 2 hours after eating.
Diabetes is diagnosed by any one of the following:
Two consecutive fasting blood glucose tests that are equal to or greater than 126 mg/dL
Any random blood glucose that is greater than 200 mg/dL
An A1c test that is equal to or greater than 6.5 percent. A1c is an easy blood test that gives a three month average of blood sugars
A two-hour oral glucose tolerance test with any value over 200 mg/dL
A normal fasting (no food for eight hours) blood sugar level is between 70 and 99 mg/dL
A normal blood sugar level two hours after eating is less than 140 mg/dL
