GLU stands for fasting blood glucose. This means the blood glucose test you underwent was conducted after an overnight fast. Normal fasting blood glucose is below 6.11 mmol/L; values between 6.11 and 7.0 mmol/L indicate impaired fasting glucose; and values ≥7.0 mmol/L suggest a preliminary diagnosis of diabetes. You may make an initial assessment based on your own blood glucose results.
