Which laboratory results would indicate that the patient has prediabetes? Glucose tolerance result of 132 mg/dL, Glucose tolerance result of 240 mg/dL, Fasting blood glucose result of 80 mg/dL, Fasting blood glucose result of 120 mg/dL.
Understand the Problem
The question is asking which specific laboratory test results would suggest that a patient is in a state of prediabetes, with options provided for various glucose tolerance and fasting blood glucose results.
Answer
Fasting blood glucose result of 120 mg/dL and glucose tolerance result of 132 mg/dL.
The final answer is a fasting blood glucose result of 120 mg/dL and a glucose tolerance result of 132 mg/dL indicate prediabetes.
Answer for screen readers
The final answer is a fasting blood glucose result of 120 mg/dL and a glucose tolerance result of 132 mg/dL indicate prediabetes.
More Information
Prediabetes is diagnosed when fasting blood glucose levels are between 100 and 125 mg/dL or when a glucose tolerance test shows a level between 140 and 199 mg/dL.
Tips
A common mistake is confusing prediabetes thresholds with diabetes thresholds. Ensure you identify if the question refers to fasting or glucose tolerance levels.
