Yes! Current conventional wisdom says that your fasting blood sugar is normal when it is between 70-110 mg/dl, you are pre-diabetic between 110-140 mg/dl, and diabetic at greater than 140 mg/dl.

It is a natural occurrence in everybody to have a rise in blood glucose (blood sugar) in the early morning hours. This is known as Dawn Phenomenon and usually occurs between 4 a.m. and 8 a.m. For diabetics this can mean hyperglycemia, abnormally high blood sugar levels. For most people, the rise in blood glucose is just enough energy for the body to wake up and get the day started.
Type 2 Diabetes is the end stage of insulin resistance. When you have Type 2 Diabetes your pancreas does not produce enough insulin, the cells of your body do not use that insulin properly, or both.
