TL;DR Summary

A study published in Nature Medicine reveals that fasting glucose levels in nondiabetic individuals exhibit more variability than previously believed. Researchers at Tel Aviv University and the Weizmann Institute of Science found considerable variability in fasting glucose levels among 8,315 nondiabetic volunteers using continuous glucose monitoring devices, suggesting that relying on just one or two blood tests may provide incomplete results. The study also suggests that using continuous glucose monitoring devices for diagnosing type II diabetes may yield better results.
