Hello guys,
I have a tricky question. Your web-site (diabetes.co.uk) gives two charts that say the following:
1. NICE recommended target blood glucose level ranges: non-diabetic healthy individuals 4.0 to 5.9 mmol/L before meals.
2. Blood sugar levels in diagnosing diabetes: fasting (before meals) from 5.5 to 6.9 mmol/L is prediabetes.
Now if the level is 5.7 mmol/L before meals, what does that mean? I am healthy according to point 1 above. However, I have prediabetes according to point 2. Could anybody throw some light upon it, please? Many thanks!
P.S. Which range does 5.6 to 5.8 belong to?
