Diabetes is diagnosed when fasting glucose levels are greater than 125 mg/dl on more than one occasion. Impaired fasting glucose is diagnosed when fasting blood glucose levels are 100-125 mg/dl on more than one occasion. It is very important to get an annual fasting blood test if you have a family history of diabetes.
