Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG): This is a blood test that is done first thing in the morning. You have to fast for eight hours before the test. You are allowed to drink water.

If your fasting blood glucose is 100 mg/dL - 125 mg/dL you are considered Prediabetic.
If it is 126 mg/dL or more in two or more tests, you are considered to have diabetes.
Oral GlucoseTolerance Test (OGTT): This test checks your blood glucose level before and two hours after you are given a sweet drink. This tells the doctor how your body is processing glucose.

If the blood glucose level is 140 mg/dL -199 mg/dL, you are considered to be prediabetic.
If it is greater than 200mg/dL, you are diagnosed as having diabetes.
