You have diabetes .in healthy people without diabetes, your blood glucose level should measure between 4.0-5.5 mmol/l before a meal and should be less than 8.0 mmol/l two hours after a meal. The blood glucose level is also measured by glycated haemoglobin, hba1c, which gives information on the average blood glucose level over the last 2-3 months. A healthy person without diabetes should have hba1c less than 42 mmol/mol. Diabetes is diagnosed when the fasting blood glucose is greater than 7.0 mmol/l, random blood glucose greater than 11.1 mmol/l, or hba1c greater than 48 mmol/mol. A fasting blood glucose level between 5.5 and 6.9 mmol/l or hba1c between 42 and 47 mmol/mol may indicate increased risk for type 2 diabetes, particularly those with obesity, family history of diabetes or from certain ethnic groups.
