What Fasting Glucose actually tells us
A measurement of your blood sugar after at least 8 hours without food, reflecting baseline glucose regulation.
A single high reading does not diagnose diabetes — we confirm with HbA1c and fasting insulin and rule out stress hyperglycaemia.
High Fasting Glucose
5.6–6.9 mmol/L = impaired fasting glucose / prediabetes. ≥7.0 mmol/L on two occasions = diabetes.
Low Fasting Glucose
<3.9 mmol/L = hypoglycaemia — investigate for medication effect, alcohol, adrenal insufficiency or rarely insulinoma.
