/WHAT_IT_IS

Fasting glucose measures your blood sugar after 8+ hours without food. It's the simplest screen for diabetes and insulin resistance.

/NORMAL_RANGE

Reference: 70–99 mg/dL. 100–125 = prediabetes. ≥126 on two occasions = diabetes.

What does high Glucose mean?

  • +Insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, stress hyperglycemia, glucocorticoid use.

What does low Glucose mean?

  • +Insulin overdose (in diabetics), reactive hypoglycemia, prolonged fasting.

/ON_TRT

TRT generally improves insulin sensitivity and lowers fasting glucose modestly. If your glucose is rising on TRT, weight gain or insulin resistance is the more likely culprit. Sleep apnea — which TRT can worsen — is another reason.
