Question- what is the non-fasting glucose reading that indicates diabetes?
Register Today!- by Valerie Salva May 14, '09I 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!

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