i am a late 30s male living in greater manchester england
my recent blood testgave me a fig of 6.7 which the nurse
said was borderline but at risk ive had a second test
today. ive seen other measures of between 80 and 120 so
how does this equate to my level 140?. my b.m.i is 32 and
i have arthiritus. i look after people with learning
dificulties

To get numbers that equate to ours, multiply yours by 18.
Your 6.7 would work out to about 120. Anything >110 is
considered pre-diabetes. It is treated just as diabetes is
treated, by testing your BG (blood glucose), taking diabetes
meds if need be, watching your diet (especially the carbs),
and exercise.

thank you

The world outside the US measures BG in mmol / L , the US
uses mg/DL...to convert multiply your reading by
18...therefore your 6.7 = 120.6

Was that reading a random or fasting reading ?

You need to get this under control. I'd start by losing some
weight. Get your BMI below 30.

This is for fasting numbers only:

Anything greater than 100 and under 126 is considered
"prediabetes".

If your fasting is over 125, it's diabetes.
