Glucose metabolism test：Blood glucose concentration is strictly regulated from 60 to 140 mg/dl at anytimes. HbA1c demonstrates average blood glucose level for the last 1-2 months. If it is over 5.9%, it is highpossibility for prediabetes. If it is over 6.5%, it is high possibility for diabetes mellitus.
