My fasting glucose number was 127. Does this sound like pre-diabetes or diabetes? What should I do to control by blood sugar?

Answer: 100 to 125 fasting glucose indicates pre-diabetes. If you have a fasting glucose of 126 or above then you are in the range for diabetes. If you have done only one glucose testing, I suggest that you do another to confirm whether you have diabetes or not.

If you do have diabetes there are classes at the hospital that you can take to understand the basics. These classes can teach you how to monitor you blood glucose, what foods to eat, how often to eat to keep your glucose steady, etc. They are a wealth of information. You can also see a Registered Dietitian for extra help if you wish.

Best of Luck,
