Reference values

The reference values for a "normal" random glucose test in an average adult are 79-160 mg/dl (4.4-7.8 mmol/l), between 160-200 mg/dl is considered pre-diabetes, and > 200 mg/dl is considered diabetes according to ADA guidelines (you should visit your doctor or a clinic for additional tests however as a random glucose of > 200 mg/dl does not necessarily mean you are diabetic).
