Brief Answer:
Fasting blood sugar more than 125 denotes diabetes.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your question.
Noted your concern.

Fasting blood sugar level done on venous blood sample by laboratory method (not by glucometer) to confirm diagnosis of diabetes.

You should consult near by diabetologist as there is a need for detailed history taking and physical examination, depending upon this further treatment can be planned.

Hope this helps you. Feel free to ask further.
