fasting glucose of 110 isn’t considered diabetic, to my knowledge. Did the ADA screw with the numbers again? The upper limit that I am familiar with is 123.

The triglycerides number is interesting.

Fasting glucose over 100 is now considered prediabetic, with the assumption that without some drastic change, diabetes inevitably will develop.

I had a fasting glucose in the 110+ range despite the fact that I'm in great shape, exercise for long periods every day, and never let sugar or grain products touch my lips. I also had a low body weight. Taking off another ten pounds has made me really too thin but it did get the blood sugar down. I live on chicken, fish, and vegetables. It's not a fun diet but losing a foot isn't fun either.

You’re right, 110 is not diabetic, but it did make me little nervous, as 123 didn’t seem so far off.
