Does having 140 mddl mean you are diabetic after a fasting test and can Dexabion injection 10 hours prior to the influence results?
Having a fasting blood glucose level of 140 mg/dL (milligrams per deciliter) does not necessarily mean you are diabetic. A single fasting blood glucose test result should be interpreted in the context of your overall health and other risk factors for diabetes.
For a diagnosis of diabetes, the American Diabetes Association (ADA) recommends the following criteria:
- Fasting blood glucose level of 126 mg/dL or higher on two separate occasions.
- A random blood glucose level of 200 mg/dL or higher with symptoms of diabetes, such as frequent urination, excessive thirst, unexplained weight loss, or blurred vision.
- An oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) with a 2-hour blood glucose level of 200 mg/dL or higher.
Regarding the Dexabion injection, it is not a medication commonly used in diabetes management. I recommend consulting with your doctor to understand the purpose of this injection, its potential effects on your blood glucose levels, and any necessary precautions before undergoing a fasting blood glucose test.
