What you are; Diabetes, Pre-diabetes or Non diabetes?
Doctors can determine whether a patient has a normal metabolism, pre-diabetes or diabetes in one of three different ways – there are three possible tests:
The HBA1C test
- More than 7.1% means diabetes
- Between 6.5% to 7.0% means pre-diabetes
- Between 4.5% to 6.4% non diabetes
The FPG (fasting plasma glucose) test
- At least 126 mg/dl means diabetes
- Between 100 mg/dl and 125.99 mg/dl means prediabetes
- Less than 100 mg/dl means normal
The OGTT (oral glucose tolerance test)
- At least 200 mg/dl means diabetes
- Between 140 and 199.9 mg/dl means prediabetes
- Less than 140 mg/dl means normal
