I have prediabetes type 2.my fasting blood sugar in the morning is 184.is it full blown diabetes?

Probably: That's a high fasting sugar. Talk to your doctor about what next steps to take to control you blood sugar better. In addition to medication, weight loss, exercise and healthy diet can help control this condition. A lab test called glycohemoglobin can be useful to monitor your progress as well as your fingerstick tests.

Most likely yes...: A blood sample, taken after an overnight fast, that is less than 100 mg/dl is considered normal. A fasting blood sugar level from 100 to 125 mg/dl is considered prediabetes. If it's 126 mg/dl or higher on two separate tests, you have diabetes.
