Fasting blood glucose ≥7.0 mmol/L, or 2-hour postsugar load blood glucose ≥11.1 mmol/L, or random blood glucose ≥11.1 mmol/L, accompanied by the symptoms of three more and one less (drinking, eating, and urinating more, and weight loss) can be considered for the diagnosis of diabetes mellitus. A 1-hour postprandial blood glucose of 11.6 mmol/L is abnormal and is considered possibly diabetic.
