You are Normal: Nope. That is a normal fasting blood glucose. They failed to do the proper test if you are at risk for diabetes and that is the hemoglobin a1c test.

No: Fasting blood sugar is normal below 100, pre- diabetes 101- 124. There is another test hemoglobin a1c that can be done.

Normal FBS: U r fasting blood sugar is normal. U need a glucose tolerance test to diagnose pre-diabetes. If it is impaired, it is pre-diabetes.

No: This is not diagnostic of diabetes. Fasting blood sugar of >105 would be considered diabetic. This does not preclude diabetes or Insulin intolerance (high sugars after eating).
