Alternate Names : FBS, Fasting Blood Sugar

The fasting blood glucose in a person without diabetes should be 110 mg/dL or less.

If the result is higher than 110 mg/dL but less than 126 mg/dl, the diagnosis of impaired fasting glucose or pre-diabetes can be made.

If the result is 126 mg/dL or higher, then another test should be done to confirm a diagnosis of diabetes.
