Not diabetic: You not even pre-diabetic. Exercise regularly to ward off diabetes. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex.

How accurate is the fasting glucose blood test? Mine showed 117. Dr said may be pre-diabetes but test not accurate. Do I need A1C to confirm? I did A1C in June and it was normal, 5.3.
Good evening doctors. My bloodwork showed glucose fasting 101. In the past my fasting glucose was around 93, but within normal range. A1c is 5.3 Could these blood test results suggest or indicate prediabetes or diabetes?
