A person with prediabetes has a fasting blood glucose level between 100 and 125 mg/dL, and individuals with an FPG of 126 mg/dL or higher are diagnosed as diabetic. A person who is prediabetic would have a 2-hour OGTT of 140 to 199 mg/dL, and diabetes is diagnosed if the OGTT is 200 mg/dL or higher.
