OK, hopefully they will give you the glucose tolerance test too...

Fasting Blood Glucose (FBG)

fasting glucose From 70 to 99 - Normal
fasting glucose From 100 to 125 - Impaired (pre-diabetes)
fasting glucose From 126 and above - on more than one testing occasion Diabetes

Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT)

(2 hours after a 75-gram glucose drink)

Less than 140 - Normal glucose tolerance
From 140 to 200 - Impaired glucose tolerance - (pre-diabetes)
Over 200 on more than one testing occasion - Diabetes

------------

Good luck on your test... !!!

How much do you weigh and how long have you weighed at this amount?
