Question 1

i recently had blood work done. what is prediabetes , glucose 119? what is cnc dubliniensis , they both showed up on blood work .

Accepted Answer

Prediabetes: If the blood work was fasting, a glu of 119 is higher than "normal", but not quite diabetes, hence "prediabetes".  Your profile lists many other medical problems, so it is best you discuss with your doctor the significance of the glucose.  Candida dubliniensis?  A form of yeast?  I don't know why this was mentioned in your blood work. Was it in your urine? Talk to your doctor.

Question 2

what is the difference between prediabetes and diabetes?

Accepted Answer

Two sugar levels: Diabetes is defined by a specific sugar level value; prediabetes is defined by a specific level slightly lower. Diabetes is a serious disease in which a person cannot make any or enough Insulin to transfer blood sugar into the body's cells (cells are unable to get fuel). In prediabetes, there is still enough Insulin to prevent the blood sugar level from going up into the full-blown diabetes range.
