    Taking a measure of someones blood glucose level before they eat in the morning is a measure of fasting blood glucose. A normal measure of fasting blood glucose is 3.8 to 5.5 mmol. If the value were higher, say 5.8 mmol then the patient would be described as being pre-diabetic. Since the value is the highest in the range of being normal she should be monitored for pre - diabetes.

    Normal blood glucose.
