Glucose 6.2 high, is it diabetes?

Patient's question:

Doctor, hello. This past month, I haven't known what's going on either. I've always felt hungry, and I haven't been on a diet, yet I've lost about ten or more pounds quickly. I think I might have diabetes, so I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up. Could you please tell me, with a glucose level of 6.2 being high, how does it relate to diabetes?

Doctor's answer:

If fasting blood glucose is 6.2, it is still slightly elevated but has not yet reached the standard for diabetes. It is still necessary to conduct a careful glucose tolerance test to further clarify the situation regarding diabetes. It is also important to regularly monitor blood glucose levels, avoid consuming too many sweet foods to prevent high blood sugar, and engage in appropriate regular exercise.
