A blood glucose level is considered diabetic when it meets the following criteria:

  • Fasting Blood Glucose Test: A level of 126 mg/dL (7.0 mmol/L) or higher after fasting for at least 8 hours.
  • A1C Test: An A1C level of 6.5% or higher indicates diabetes.
  • Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT): A blood glucose level of 200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L) or higher 2 hours after drinking a glucose-rich drink.

If you suspect you have diabetes, consult a healthcare professional for proper testing and diagnosis.
