@my44 - Thank you.
The article is helpful but raises more questions on the diabetic state. What are the other ways to find the right levels of a person's diabetic status other than the fasting Glucose test, A1C and Fructosamine test.
My friend is in the San Jose area, Can anyone suggest any physician or institution he could reach out to for advice.

@sreesatya, even with your friend's fasting glucose level being 100- 115, her A1C is 4.5 which is well within the normal range of 4% and 5.6% for person without diabetes.
Doctors can do a glucose tolerance test. If she doesn't already, your friend could use a finger stick meter or a continuous glucose moniter to see what her numbers look like at various times throughout the day. If those are all normal, then perhaps your friend's fasting glucose of 100-115 is normal for her. Everybody is different and their bodies and glucose levels respond differently to various factors. But it seems like your friend's numbers throughout the day would fall within the normal range since her A1C is 4.5. Not being from the San Jose area, I don't know anything about institutions there that could help, Has your friend's doctor expressed any concern regarding her fasting glucose level?
