c. 100-125 mg/dl
d. >150 mg/dl
e. 70-100 mg/dl

Answer 1

Answer;

C. 100 - 125 mg/dL

A person with prediabetes has a fasting blood glucose level of 100-125 mg/dL.

Explanation;

-A fasting blood sugar level below 100 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) — 5.6 millimoles per liter (mmol/L) — is considered normal.

-A fasting blood sugar level from 100 to 125 mg/dL (5.6 to 7.0 mmol/L) is considered prediabetes. This result is sometimes called impaired fasting glucose. A fasting blood sugar level of 126 mg/dL (7.0 mmol/L) or higher indicates type 2 diabetes.
