A member asked:

What fasting glucose level is normal for pre-diabetic and diabetic?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It's all one: Disorder; only the name changes as your sugar gets higher. The health risks don't change as the name changes, you're at the same risk right from the beginning - that's why it's important not to wait but begin diet, exercise, weight loss and education now. See diabetes.Org for the numbers if you absolutely feel you need them.

Non diabetic. Fasting levels normal. Consistently getting readings in the 70s - 30 min after eating. Levels then rise to normal post meal levels. Is this to be expected, glucose levels dipping 30 min after a meal, the rising to normal levels?
