    What is a FPG test?
    It is a relatively simple, accurate, and inexpensive test that can screen for diabetes and problems with insulin functioning. The FPG test is recommended as a screening test for people 35 or older to be repeated every three years. It may also be used for people who have symptoms of diabetes or multiple risk factors for diabetes.

    What is a normal FPG level?
    The FPG range of 91–99 mg/dL can therefore be used to select those individuals to be subjected to further investigation with biomarkers of β-cell function, such as 1-h oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) ( 5, 13 ). In fact, a threefold decline in insulin sensitivity was demonstrated with increasing FPG levels from 70 to 125 mg/dL ( 14 ).

    Is FPG a predictor of type 2 diabetes?
    During the follow-up of 13,845 apparently healthy Mediterranean adults, we found an increased risk of type 2 diabetes across FPG groups within normal range ( 10, 11 ), suggesting that FPG between 91 and 99 mg/dL is a strong independent predictor of diabetes.

    What does a low FPG reading mean?
    An FPG reading below 55mg/dL in a person without diabetes is considered hypoglycemia; the cutoff for people with diabetes is below 70mg/dL If your FPG reading is below 70 mg/dL, this is indicative of hypoglycemia and could mean you've developed one of the following conditions:
