Levels up to 100 mg/dL are considered normal.
Levels between 100 and 126 mg/dl are referred to as impaired fasting glucose or pre-diabetes. These levels are considered to be risk factors for type 2 diabetes and its complications.
Diabetes is typically diagnosed when fasting blood glucose levels are 126 mg/dl or higher.
Note: mg/dL = milligrams per deciliterhttp://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/003482.htm
That's FASTING levels. Non-fasting have to be over 200 to suspect diabetes. Also, stress and anxiety increases blood sugar.
