what is the real range of numbers for the FBG?

Hi all,

I got my first FBG result this moirning with my new meter.
The result was 116 mg/dl. So whether I am or not, I guess
it's close.

The alt.support.diabetes site says it's 110.
Quentin told me it's 127. And then I read in another book
that the numbers at which one becomes diabetic is an
individual thing. Holy cow, how am I supposed to know?

The ADA says pre-diabetes is between 100 and 126,
for the FBG or FBS, so I think I'll go with that. Ok,
pre-diabetic it is.

I don't know about alt.support.diabetes, but I have seen
other alt.support.whatever sites with less than correct info,
on other topics. Quentin looks to be pretty much right on.

So I guess this is the phase where the hypoglycemia comes
into it.

Anyway, after all the testing I do today, I'll be repeating
it Sat. or Sunday.

thanks,

Tracy
