I believe it used to be 140, but I can't remember offhand what it is now-

Does anyone know the non-fasting blood glucose number which is considered definitive for diabetes?

Thanks!

100 - 125 suggests pre-diabetes; >125 is diabetes

tnbutterfly,

The numbers you gave are for FASTING glucose - OP asked about Non-Fasting

Trigger level for non-fasting is more than one random test >200

Sorry.....my eyes are tired and I misread the post. You are correct.

Above 200 via lab draw at any two points in time with symptoms.

hmmm i was under the impression that over 150 had the potential to interfer with cardiac electrical activity

Not all hyperglycemia is diabetes.

Yep, I neglected to add the "with symptoms" qualifier......:selfbonk:

We were told non fasting 126

Then we're screwed if we've just eaten in the last two hours. :)

OOPs stand corrected, over 126 if fasting. 200 for non fasting. Thanks!

Sorry, I missed that the question had already been answered when I posted.

So, is it agreed >200 NON-fasting, and >126 fasting???
