Crabsallover Glucose levels - Diabetes test

November 2011: 4.4 mmol/L (Savage, twin oaks)
July 2010: Glucose 5.2mmol/L (Twin Oaks)
October 2008: Glucose 4.8 mmol/L (Lloyds Pharmacy)
November 2006: Glucose 6.1 mmol/L with a fasting retest: 5.9 mmol/l. (Sharon 4.9 mmol/L, November 2006).

Normal Glucose Range: 4.4 - 6.1 mmol/L (source)

Diabetes is diagnosed by fasting plasma glucose level >7.0 mmol/L. At 5.6 to 6.9 mmol/L levels is 'impaired fasting glucose' (IFG) a pre-diabetic state, associated with insulin resistance and increased risk of cardiovascular pathology. 50% risk over 10 years of IFG progressing to overt diabetes - average time for progression as less than three years.[1] IFG is also a risk factor for mortality.[2]

Conclusion: 
Since November 2006 5.9mmol/L, IFG crabsallover glucose levels have become normal: 4.8 mmol/L (October 2008) and 5.2 mmol/L (July 2010) and  4.4 mmol/L (November 2011)
