Like mitochondria, chloroplasts likely originated from an ancient symbiosis, in this case when a nucleated cell engulfed a photosynthetic prokaryote. Indeed, chloroplasts resemble modern cyanobacteria, which remain similar to the cyanobacteria of 3 million years ago.
Your doctor will test your blood glucose in the office. If it is below 100 milligrams of glucose per deciliter of blood (mg/dL), it is normal. Borderline diabetes or prediabetes occurs when your fasting blood glucose is between 100 and 125 mg/dL. A level of 126 mg/dL or above indicates diabetes.
For someone who does not have diabetes, a normal A1C is less than 5.7%. An A1C of 5.7% to 6.4% indicates prediabetes. An A1C of 6.5 % or higher indicates that you have diabetes. Remember, these are the numbers used for diagnosing diabetes and pre-diabetes.
