In pre-diabetes, blood sugar levels are slightly higher than normal, but still not as high as in diabetes. if diabetes is "runaway blood sugar" think of pre-diabetes as blood sugar that is "halfway out the door.". people almost always develop pre-diabetes before they get type 2 diabetes.. So, listen to your doctor, but if you need or want extra reassurance you can always test at home. you didn’t give any units, but i assume that the units are mg/dl. the cut-off for fasting blood glucose is 126 mg/dl, not 100 mg/dl. in fact, fasting blood glucose levels up to 110 mg/dl are considered within normal range.. Slightly elevated protein in blood. i’m diagnosed as prediabetic..my fasting glucose levels are 5.8. my total protein is 8.6, albumin is 4.5 and globulin is 4.1. do i need to consult any doctor for this elevated protein levels? i have consulted 2 general physicians and as per them if i control my glucose levels everything will be in limits..
Iron, serum was 258. glucose slightly high at 106 (range 65-100). alt (liver enzymes) was slightly high at 55, three weeks ago too. everything else normal. never had high iron beform that i am aware of. historically, over last 5 years, maybe 2-3 times liver enzymes slightly high. but later normal.. Expert answer. in 1997, the american diabetes association definition of normal blood glucose decreased from 120 to 110 mg/dl (6.1 mmol/l). in 2002, the american diabetes association defined a normal fasting blood glucose as less than 100 mg/dl (5.6 mmol/l)..
Davidhueben responded: it is certainly not inevitable that you will develop diabetes in the future. as you pointed out, your fasting glucose was only slightly elevated (normal levels being between 70 and 99). but, it does bear watching after future physicals. your doctor gave you the prudent advice. you might increase your exercise a bit.. Even slightly elevated fasting blood glucose levels than normal have high heart risk. however, if you’re younger than 45, overweight and have one or more other risk factors, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol or are in one of the high risk factors..
