From my own testing of over 50 non-diabetics everyone is diabetic or pre-diabetic according to these numbers. And its highly unlikely in Thailand.
I just came back from the gym (90 minutes of intensive weight training) and posted 104.

JediSurfer, these results are from using my own glucometer...a Horizen "One-touch" meter.

It was interesting that you observe a big jump in the first hour after waking. My testing is never done immediately upon waking, and probably between 30 minutes and an hour after.

Nobody specifically told me that I'm diabetic. I discovered very high BG levels 2 years ago when suffering from a liver ailment (I documented this in some detail on the thread: My Nortorous and Evil Liver). I used medication for a while, then stopped. All testing I've done since then puts me in the pre-diabetic category in terms of waking BG.

Living in Asia, I don't feel compelled to discuss my condition with a doctor.
