High Fasting Glucose

Fasting blood glucose is a test to show how much glucose (sugar) is in a blood sample taken after an overnight fast, thus before the person has eaten.

The normal, nondiabetic range for blood glucose is from 70 to 110 mg/dl. If the level is above 140 mg/dl, it usually means the person has diabetes (except for newborns and some pregnant women).
