A45-year-old female client on the inpatient unit has just resumed eating a normal diet. the nurse checks a blood sugar with her morning labs and the result is 5.5 mmol/l. how would the nurse interpret this blood glucose?

Taking a measure of someones blood glucose level before they eat in the morning is a measure of fasting blood glucose. A normal measure of fasting blood glucose is 3.8 to 5.5 mmol. If the value were higher, say 5.8 mmol then the patient would be described as being pre-diabetic. Since the value is the highest in the range of being normal she should be monitored for pre- diabetes.  

Idont know but good luck; )

I’m not really sure
