Dear Patient,
Your recent fasting blood glucose levels of 117 mg/dL, 96 mg/dL, and 91 mg/dL, along with
HbA1c readings of 5.6% and 5.3%, suggest that your blood
sugar levels are within normal ranges. According to the World Health Organization, normal fasting blood glucose concentrations are between 70 mg/dL (3.9 mmol/L) and 100 mg/dL (5.6 mmol/L). When fasting blood glucose is between 100 to 125 mg/dL (5.6 to 6.9 mmol/L), changes in lifestyle and monitoring glycemia are recommended. If fasting blood glucose is 126 mg/dL (7 mmol/L) or higher on two separate tests,
diabetes is diagnosed.
