Blood Sugar Patterns and Prediabetes
Learn what common glucose measures can and cannot tell you.
What to know
Glucose results are interpreted differently depending on the test and clinical context.
Prediabetes signals increased risk, not inevitable progression.
Food, movement, sleep, medication, illness, and timing can affect glucose patterns.
