had the following blood test results at two different labs from time to time.

TEST1 (April 22, 2013):
glucose : 98 mg/dL,, range(74-106)

TEST2 (January 07, 2014):
glucose (fasting) : 92 mg/dL,, range(<100)

TEST3 (May 26, 2014):
glucose : 100 mg/dL,, range(74-106)

TEST4 (September 12, 2014)
glucose : 75 mg/dL, range(<100)

TEST 5 (September 19, 2014)
glucose : 100 mg/dL, range(74-106)

Based on these results, do I have pre-diabets (impaired fasting glucose)?

I will be happy for feedback.

Welcome back. You had posted some of your fasting results earlier. As I said, doctors usually want fasting to be under 100. Going by that, one of your results, 75, is absolutely 'normal' and what a non-diabetic would have. Your 100 results are borderline. The 98 would be considered high also but still under 100.

You seem to be worrying a lot about this. Have you spoken to your doctor? Have you had a GTT? This is a glucose tolerance test. Have you had an A1c? This gives what your blood sugar has been over about 3 months.

What kinds of food are you eating? If you are eating a lot of carbs like rice, bread, potatoes, etc. your blood sugar will be higher than normal.
