I was told by my friend that the fasting blood sugar gidlines was 140 then they changed it to 126 and now to 110 is that true? I have not found anything about the 110 just the 126. If anyone could help me that would be great.

It is my understanding that they just dropped it to 100. It use to be 110-140 was considered glucose intolerance and anything over 140 was diabetes. But they have since realized that damage was being done at 100.

I might be wrong. But I don't think so.
